Hamas - Murder Most Foul

 

The remains of an 80-year-old grandmother (Carmela Dan) and her 12-year-old granddaughter (Noya) were found burnt beside the Israel-Gaza border after being kidnapped from their Kibbutz. 

Makes you wonder why Hamas 'freedom fighters' felt the need to terrorise, kidnap and then murder two innocent human beings in such an inhuman, cold-blooded way.

The Israeli family of a 12-year-old Harry Potter fan who was murdered by Hamas have shared the final messages they received from her.

Noya Dan, 12, and her grandmother Carmela, 80, had been missing since Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7. The family had previously held out hope they were kidnapped rather than killed. But the burnt remains of Noya, who had autism, and her grandmother were found near the Israel-Gaza border fence and were identified by rescue workers, a post on Facebook confirmed on Wednesday night.

Noya’s plight had been highlighted by JK Rowling, 58, the author of the Harry Potter books, who said on Twitter/X that her story had “hit home with me”.

A final voice message released by her mother Galit Dan, 53, has revealed Noya’s fears as Hamas gunmen roamed Kibbutz Nir Oz searching for Israelis to kill or take hostage. “Mom, there was a big boom at the door that scared me”, Noya is heard saying on the voice note. As she hid desperately inside her grandmother’s home she heard “another boom” and said: “Mommy ... I’m scared.”
When terrorists took Noya, her mother was five miles away in a panic room and could only text her daughter as Hamas militants searched the family’s living room. “Just because she is autistic doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand,” she told Israeli media.

Noam Dan, Carmela’s niece, wrote on Facebook: “It has just dawned on us that our beloved family members Noya and Carmela are no longer alive. We are in great pain.” Three more members of the Dan family are still missing.

In a photo shared on X by Rowling, Noya appears to be dressed as a Harry Potter character and can be seen holding a Hebrew copy of one of the books and a wand. “Kidnapping children is despicable and wholly unjustifiable,” she wrote.

The State of Israel’s X account had urged Rowling to share Noya’s story, with the hope of “bringing her home”.
