There are growing fears for a young Israeli-American woman who remains missing days after vanishing from the Super Nova music festival where her young sister and fiancé were both slaughtered.
Norelle Manzuri, 25, has not been heard from since Hamas militants attacked the event over the weekend.
For days, her family in Israel and the US have held out hope that she along with her sister Roya and fiance Amit may have been on the run or hiding.
Yesterday, Roya and Amit’s bodies were identified as among those left at the music event but there is still no sign of Norelle.

The girls’ parents, Sigal and Menashe Manzuri, said they are ‘in hell’
In an interview with NBC, the girls’ mother, Sigal, said: ‘It’s either they’re dead or were kidnapped.’
Their grief-stricken father Menashe added: ‘We are in hell right now, that’s where we are.’
The girls studied at Temple Israel of Hollywood in Los Angeles before moving to Tel Aviv.
Norelle and Amit became engaged just two weeks ago.
The family’s friends have set up a GoFundMe page to support them.
‘As of today, 10/11/2023, Roya Manzuri and Amit Cohen have been identified as victims who were murdered at the music festival.
Norelle’s fiancé, Amit Cohen, was also killed at the festival. The pair were only engaged for two weeks before he was killed
The girls’ friends said they were the ‘light of the room’. They are shown with their parents and younger brother
The sisters were among thousands of party-goers at the festival on Saturday
‘We still have hope for Norelle’s safe return. We ask that you light a candle and say their names.
‘Your love and support is appreciated now more than ever,’ organizers said.
The number of Americans killed in the conflict has now risen to 25, with 17 people unaccounted for.
Yesterday, John Kirby, the Strategic Communications Director for the National Security Council, said a ‘handful’ of the missing had been taken hostage.
It remains unclear how far the government will go to secure the hostages’ release.
So far, there has been no proof of life for any of those who have been taken.
Devastated father Thomas Hand tearfully recalls finding out his eight-year-old daughter was killed by Hamas terrorists
Eight-year-old Emily Hand was murdered by Hamas terrorists on Saturday at Kibbutz Be’eri. Her father said he was relieved when he found out his daughter was dead rather than a captive of the Palestinian terrorists who might have tortured her in Gaza
The father of an eight-year-old girl killed in the conflict said it came as a relief to learn she was dead and not being held hostage by Hamas.
‘They just said, “We found Emily, she’s dead,” and I went, “Yes.” I went “Yes,” and smiled because that is the best news of the possibilities that I knew.
‘The best possibility that I was hoping for.
‘She was either dead or in Gaza, and if you know anything about what they do to people in Gaza, that is worse than death, that is worse than death.
‘The way they treat you, they have no food, they have no water.
‘She’d be in a dark room with Christ who knows how many people and terrified every minute, hour, day and possible years to come.
‘So death was a blessing, an absolute blessing,’ he cried.
