The National Court investigates the disappearance of the Basque citizen Ivan Illarramendi and his wife, Loren Garcovichof Chilean nationality, following the attacks carried out by Hamas last weekend in Israel and in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank.

The last time anyone heard about the marriage was when the terrorists entered the kibbutz where they were. Loren’s father, Danny Garcovich, says that spoke to her on the phonewhen I told him that There were people “inside the house breaking everything”.

“He said they were going into the shelter and they were terrified. Finally he said, ‘Help, help, help‘”, he assures. Finally, they lost contact with them at 12:30 p.m. last Saturday.

The couple lived a few kilometers from the Gaza Strip. She carries more than 30 years living in Israel, while he, coming from Zarautz, had settled in the kibbutz with his partner. Now, it is believed that both could be kidnapped.

“They broke everything they could have broken, they forced the door of the shelter… Surely they took them as hostages so they could use them as currency,” says the father. The terrorists, he assures, did not burn the house, where there were no signs of gunshots or blood, and it was completely empty.

They say that while they are kidnapped they have the hope to get them back and may they return home soon. According to the latest known figures, the number of deaths in Israel has exceeded 1,200 and the injured exceeds 3,000, while the Israeli bombings in Gaza have already caused 1,055 deaths and at least 5,184 injuries.
