Guy Gilboa-Dalal was taken from Nova festival in 7 October Hamas attack that led to Israel’s devastating assault on Gaza
S
ometimes two years seem to have lasted for ever. Sometimes Gal Gilboa-Dalal feels trapped in an eternal present, still living the agonising, endless day when his brother, Guy, was kidnapped by Hamas.
The siblings were at the Nova festival, dancing in a grove of trees just a few kilometres from Gaza, when militants broke through the border to launch the deadliest attacks since Israel was founded and take 250 people hostage.
“Time has been passing very weirdly,” Gal said. “In a way I feel that I was with him at Nova yesterday and in a way I feel like I haven’t seen my brother in more than 100 years.”
