The Haran family lived in Kibbutz Be'eri until Hamas terrorists took over it and burned it to the ground on October 7th. Ten family members were in the house that day – eight of them are missing and two were killed. Shaked Haran talks about her family on video.

"Ten of our family members are held hostage be Hamas: Our father, Avshalom Haran (who was since found dead); Our mother, Shoshana Haran; Our sister, Adi Shoham, her husband and two children; Our aunt and her daughter; Also, we lost contact with our aunt and uncle that live nearby our parents (the uncle is Evyatar Kipnis, who was also since been found dead)/

"Nave – our sister's son – he's 8 years old. He's an amazing child. He has such an open heart. He's just a sunny, bright boy who thinks the world is full of good. We're praying that in some sort of way, you manage to keep this point of view, that there is good in the world."
