The footage shows a woman in the back of the truck as a terrorist puts a scarf over her head. Yoni Asher recognized her family members. He said his wife and young daughters were visiting his mother-in-law in Nir Oz, near Gaza.
His partner’s cell phone allowed him to learn that she was in Gaza, before he recognized her in the video.
