Sitting on the back of a terrorist's motorcycle, her outstretched arms pointing towards her helpless boyfriend, student Noa Argamani (main) pleads for her life. She screams 'Don't kill me! No, no, no' - but the gunman speeds off. Noa hasn't been seen since. Her boyfriend, Avi Nathan (inset), distraught and helpless, is left behind in the desert. He too is missing. Widely shared on social media, the footage of Noa's kidnapping is almost too distressing to bear. 'Imagine what it is like for her family,' said her university roommate, Amir Moadi. They found out she had been snatched only when they chanced upon the footage online. Along with hundreds of other young Israelis, Noa and Avi had been enjoying a peace festival in the desert when they were forced to flee for their lives from Hamas terrorists. Revellers had gathered for an all-night trance music rave near Kibbutz Re'im, close to the Gaza Strip, to celebrate the end of the Sukkot religious holiday. But the festivities turned to chaos yesterday morning after Palestinian terrorists began firing rockets and gunshots into the crowd.
