WHAT I'VE LEARNT

URGENT: U.S. Citizen taken hostage to Gaza in dire medical need. (Updated Wed Oct 13, 8am IST)
Hersh Goldberg-Polin was wounded and violently abducted at the Nova Music Festival in Southern Israel on October 7 by Gazan terrorists. He needs urgent medical attention.
Hersh Goldberg-Polin was among the thousands of young people attacked by terrorists from Gaza at the Nova Music Festival near Kibbutz Reim in Southern Israel.
Eyewitness accounts confirm that Hersh was taken hostage along with several others around 9:00 am Saturday morning by the armed terrorists, after his arm was blown off. He and the other hostages were forced onto a pick-up truck and believed to be taken from Israel into Gaza. He is in need of urgent medical attention.
Hersh moved to Jerusalem at age 7 with his parents, Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, and his two sisters, Leebie and Orly. He is an avid soccer fan – championing the Hapoel Jerusalem team, loves to travel and attend music festivals.
Hersh travels to the US annually to visit his grandparents and family. His parents, both Chicago natives, instilled in him a love of American sports and culture. He was able to recite every US president by the age of seven.
At 8:11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct.7, 2023, Hersh messaged his parents “I love you,” and then, “I’m sorry.” That was his final communication.
We are hopeful that he is alive and can be located. We just want him returned home safely, along with all other hostages.
