Hello OnPolitics readers. After Hamas launched a shocking attack on Israel over the weekend, the Israeli death toll has reached more than 1,200 people as of Wednesday morning. More than 1,100 Gaza residents have been killed.

Thousands more are wounded across the area, and more than 100 Israeli soldiers and civilians have been kidnapped by Hamas.

Two of those people may be Cindy Flash, an American, and her Israeli husband, Igal. Flash, 67, lives in Kfar Aza, a kibbutz in southern Israel near Gaza, where some of the most harrowing and grisly stories have been emerging during the last few days, USA TODAY's Kim Hjelmgaard reports.

Flash's daughter, Keren, described her mother, who worked as an administrator in a local college, as someone who had the "sweetest biggest heart," who everyone knew and loved, and who had spent a lifetime advocating for the rights of Palestinians, including those who live in Gaza where she may now be held.

"They didn't deserve this,'' her daughter said Tuesday on the grounds of a hotel and resort northeast of Tel Aviv, where hundreds of people affected by the Hamas attack temporarily evacuated. "No one deserves this."
