After Youssef and his children finish milking the cows in the kibbutz's barn, alarms sound. They run to the shelter and wait for a break. Salem and his small children try to take shelter at the other end of the barn.

Explosion noises are heard around the barn and the sounds of gunfire are getting closer and closer.
Terrorists burst into the barn and seize the members of the Alziadana family and two workers from Thailand: Pataniot Tunaskari and Awat Surayasi. Youssef and Hamza speak to them in Arabic, but they kidnap the six and take them towards the exit of the kibbutz.

The terrorists set fire to the Thai workers' living structure adjacent to the barn and set fire to the hay stacks that were in the barn. They loot a lot of equipment and leave behind extensive destruction.



The terrorists march Youssef and his children up to the border and then cover their eyes as soon as they cross the fence.
Hamas circulates documentation showing Bilal and Hamza lying on the floor at the moment of the kidnapping. Members of the extended Alziadana family try to assist, but fail to reach the kibbutz. At this time, Youssef and his children are already arriving in the Gaza Strip.

Two looters find Salem and his children who are in a barn; they threaten to kidnap them. After a conversation between them, the looters take Salem's car keys and his wallet and leave the place.

Salem and his children manage to reach soldiers who are at the gates of the kibbutz.
Salem and his children are transferred to Kibbutz Gvulot.
Family members arrive to bring Salem and his children to their home in Rahat.
After being defined as kidnapped, the extended Alziadana family calls for the return of the four family members.
