Abbey Onn's relatives were taken on Saturday during Hamas' attack on Israel, but she said she is hoping for a diplomatic solution.
An American woman who had five family members were taken hostage during Hamas' attacks on Israel told CBS News about the experience and the moment she and her family realized their loved ones were missing. Abbey Onn said that she was in her Israel home, north of Tel Aviv, when she and other family members got messages from relatives in southern Israel.
Carmela Dan's father moved to Israel a century ago and built the kibbutz 'literally from the ground up,' Onn said. Dan moved to the kibbutz '60 years ago,' Onn said. 'Since then, she's become the matriarch of a major clan of people,' Onn said. 'They are family oriented, they love the land, they're deeply, deeply connected to Nir Oz and to this area and to peace.
