Canadian-Israeli Vivian Silver is believed to be among the dozens of civilian hostages held by Hamas, following the militant group's coordinated weekend attack on Israeli soil.
Israel has ordered a "complete siege" of Gaza, cutting off power, food and water to one of the most densely populated and impoverished strips of land in the world. Jeff Semple reports from Jerusalem, looking at the fears of Gaza's civilians over Israel's retaliation. He also speaks with the son of humanitarian Vivian Silver, one of the Canadians kidnapped by Hamas during their initial attack.
“She believes in peace and reconciliation and making the world a better place,” said Yonatan Zeigen, Silver’s son. “I continued talking with my mother until I heard on the phone screaming and yelling and gunshots outside her window,” he told Global News.
