In Montpellier (Hérault), his cousin scans social networks, but feels helpless. “There is total helplessness. (…) It’s horrible to say, but we would almost have preferred to find his lifeless body.”, he confides, fearing that she will be held hostage. Those who were able to get their loved ones on the phone on Saturday, in the midst of chaos, recount a terrifying exchange. Most of the hostages are said to be held in Gaza, currently under fire from the Israeli army, continuously for 24 hours.
