Haim Peri (79) of Kibbutz Nir Oz was abducted in the Hamas attack on Israeli communities last Saturday
Lior Peri, Haim's son, speaks on video.

"My brother, who is British citizen, is an amateur photographer. He came with a German girlfriend. They went South, to the kibbutz. They went to the Dead Sea. They took some pictures there. Really had a good time—two young tourists from Europe coming to enjoy.
Late on Saturday night, the news came: his body, and his girlfriend's body [were] discovered. We learned… he was murdered as well.
Early Saturday morning, my father, my 79-old father, was abducted from his house.

All his life my father was a peace activist. He took part in an Israeli organization called The Road to Recovery. They were taking sick people from Gaza Strip, where he is being held now, they were taking them to an Israeli hospital to get medical care.
Please, bring my father, Haim Peri, back home."
