Warning: this episode contains descriptions of violence.
It’s been nearly six months since the Hamas-led attacks on Israel, when militants took more than 200 hostages into Gaza.
In a village called Nir Oz, near the border, one quarter of residents were either killed or taken hostage. Yocheved Lifshitz and her husband, Oded Lifshitz, were among those taken.
Today, Yocheved and her daughter Sharone tell their story.
