100+ Israelis taken to Gaza in complication for Tel Aviv

Yoni Asher last spoke to his wife on Saturday morning, when she called from her mother's home in southern Israel near the Gaza border. "She told me terrorists had infiltrated the home," he said. "The phone got disconnected."

He last saw her later in the day in a video circulating online. She and their daughters, 3 and 5 years old, were huddled with others on a flatbed in the back of a vehicle. Men with guns ushered them off.

Asher's wife, Doron Asher Katz, 34, is one of an unknown number of Israelis who have been captured and presumed to be held as hostages after an unprecedented invasion by Hamas militants of southern Israel, taking control for a time of multiple communities and at least two military camps, and killing hundreds. Videos posted online show armed men marching or dragging men and women through the streets, some elderly, some bloodied.

It's unclear how many hostages have been taken. Hamas has said it was holding dozens of commanders and soldiers. Israeli media reported that the number was at least 100, including elderly people and children.
