Omer Shem-Tov was at the Nova party at Re'im when Hamas terrorists surrounded the thousands of party-goers, slaughtered hundreds and kidnapped many more into the Gaza strip. His parents, Shelly and Malki Shem-Tov, talk about the moments they started realizing what was happening on video.
"He always tells me: 'Mom, I love you. He calls me Mamo. And every time he goes out or comes in he always hugs and gives me three kisses. Like this, three kisses.
"From one call to the next with Omer, he sounded way more panicked, and on one call he said: 'There's a lot of shooting here, we're under fire, we're under fire!' They were running, and he told me: 'Dad, I see dead people here'.
"He told me: 'We just got into a friend's car and we're trying to get out of here'.
"He managed to send us his live location, and then we saw the point on the map going back and forth, it wasn't clear where, and at some point it started going toward Gaza. We called him, we wanted to tell him: 'Omer, you're going the wrong way, turn around and come back, and from that moment on he didn't answer his phone.
"I called him, the phone rang, but he didn't answer, and we saw the location pin going into Gaza. The pin stopped beyond the border.
"Omer's room is a mess, and I'm not tidying Omer's room up until he comes back and tidies it himself. There's no other option."
