The Nova Festival near Sderot was stormed by gunmen who killed at least 260 people and took 199 people hostage on October 7.

Ruth was wheelchair-bound and suffered from cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.

Elder daughter Yaarit Peretz, 26, told the Israeli site Ynet Monday before they were found that this was a complete shock after what had been a good trip. 

‘[My father] was really happy, and everything was fine,’ she said.

She said that Peretz would take Ruth to concerts and other events often to cheer her up. 

‘For years he goes to these parties and takes Ruth, because it makes her really good and she loves it,’ Yaarit said. ‘There were times when he would take her and she didn’t want to come back.’

Yaarit last spoke to her father the morning of the October 7 attack. 

‘He said that they barely had reception, and he didn’t know where to go. He said that almost everyone ran away, and I told him that there were terrorists on the streets.’

She was especially worried about Ruth, who is mostly nonverbal, eats through her stomach and needs additional special care.

‘I find it hard to believe that she will survive in Gaza,’ she said at the time. It’s crazy that so much time has passed and there are still no answers.’

The festival they was attending was one of the first places to be targeted by Hamas when the terrorist group launched its surprise attack across the Gaza border ten days ago.

Hundreds of revelers, who had been at the dance festival in the desert, were horrifically gunned down by Hamas. Others were kidnapped and taken back to Gaza as hostages. 

More than 1,400 people are known to have been killed in the terrorist attacks on October 7 which has since been followed by thousands of deaths in Gaza in retaliatory Israeli air strikes.

Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have been massing in preparation for a ground invasion of the Palestinian territory, but this was postponed at the last minute over the weekend amid suggestions they had received new intelligence about hostages taken by Hamas.

President Joe Biden visited the state of Israel Wednesday, giving leaders U.S. approval to launch a ground invasion of Gaza, according to a report.

Biden spent seven-and-a-half hours in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies. 

His visit came as anger spread across the region over an explosion at a Gaza hospital, which Israel blamed on a misfiring Palestinian rocket, and which the Pentagon confirmed. Hamas blames Israel.

The U.S. president told Netanyahu he was ‘fully in support’ of Israel’s plans to invade Gaza to ‘eradicate Hamas’, according to The Times of London.

Benny Gantz, a former defense minister and IDF chief of staff who has joined his rival Netanyahu’s war cabinet, warned Biden that the incursion could take ‘years,’ Axios reported.

Biden spoke to reporters on his way back from Israel, on Air Force One, but did not confirm the United States’ support for the invasion. The White House has not commented.
