Noam has not spoken to his 75 year old mother, Ada, since 7 October when Hamas forces stormed her house in southern Israel.

Noam, who lives in London, believes his mother is being held hostage by Hamas.

Ada was hiding in her safe room at the time forces stormed her house.

"As the day started to move on, the realisation that A - you can't lock a safe room door", Noam said.

"So that was the first thing that started to feel like 'ok she's on her own and she vulnerable'.

"The second thing I started to see a Hamas reporter reporting from her front lawn and I see a lot of activities behind him.

"At that point my heart dropped. I hoped for the best but I didn't know".
