LUZIT, Israel, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Soon after Hamas gunmen invaded Israel's villages videos began to emerge of seized Israelis being dragged away into Gaza. One showed an elderly woman, a defiant expression on her face, driven on a golf cart into the Palestinian enclave. The family of the bespectacled grey-haired woman, wrapped in a pink blanket and later identified as 85-year-old Yafa Adar, recognized her instantly. "I can't even start to understand how people think it makes sense to kidnap an 85 years old lady, kidnap babies, kidnap kids," said Adva. And you can see there, she's sitting trying to show them, she's not afraid and she's not hurt.
