THE brother of a dad kidnapped by Hamas is desperately trying to find him after seeing chilling footage of the moments before his wife was murdered.

Or Levy was forced to hide in a shelter with wife Eynav after Hamas terrorists stormed the Nova musical festival on October 7 and turned it into a bloodbath.

Evil gunmen pummelled the hideout with grenades and opened fire as terrified partygoers cowered inside- killing Eynav and several others.

Meanwhile Or, whose son Almog is just two years old, was dragged from the Israeli festival by Hamas thugs and has not been heard from since.

His brother Michael is now frantically trying to find out what happened to his brother as he struggles to not lose hope.

Michael said alerts woke him up early on October 7 and he rushed to turn the TV on to find out what was going on - unaware of the horror unfolding.

He first called his mum to check she and his dad were OK, and found out his brother and sister-in-law were at the festival.

Michael said he tried not to worry at first, as his mum reassured him they were leaving the site.

But just shortly after, his panicked mum called back as she could not get through to Or.

Haunting texts show one of Or's final messages said: "Can't speak".

His mum warned her beloved son to "watch out and call me when you can", to which he responded: "We stopped in a bomb shelter."

Michael told The Sun: "From the shelter they called my mother.

"My mother asked him 'what's going on, are you OK? Is everything OK?'.

"And the only response was, Mum you don't want to know.

"And that's it. And that was the last thing we heard from him."

Michael said a further message from his mum asking how they were went unanswered.

Hamas terrorists rampaged throguh the music festival after bursting over the border on hand gliders and motorbikes.

More than 1,400 people were slaughtered as the terror group unleashed horror at the site as well as in several kibbutzs - with 260 bodies found by rescuers at the music festival.

Dozens were also kidnapped and hauled back over the border, with their fate still unclear.

Michael said just ten minutes after Or's heartbreaking call to his mum, Hamas gunman tracked them down in the shelter and began hurling grenades in and shooting at them.

Tragic footage shows Or, Eynav and several others hiding in a shelter moments before the terrorists found them.

He added: "Unfortunately each one of the grenades exploded inside and killed 17 people.

"My brother was kidnapped along with three others from the shelter."

Since that day, Michael made it his mission to find out what happened to Or and Eynav.

He added: "I gathered any information I could get. I found videos of them inside the shelter before and pictures of them.

"I spoke to survivors. I even saw videos of the terrorists coming and throwing their grenades into the shelter.

"And also horrible video of them kidnapping some of the people that were inside. So I saw things that I regret I had to see."

After days of agony, Michael's family were devastated to learn Eynav had been murdered, while Or had been abducted.

But Michael said they know nothing of his condition, and are praying he is still alive as the war rages on between Israel and Hamas.

Michael said: So I decided I'm I would do everything in my power to get him back. 

"I just decided to raise awareness and keep pressing the Government and the Israeli government on foreign governments

"You know the hostages that it's basically crimes against humanity. So someone needs to put the pressure on them.

"And at the same time, I'm also trying to take as much as I can from my parent's plate not to let them deal with it."

Michael said his parents are now trying to look after Or and Eynav's young son while trying to shield him from the horrors unfolding.

As a family, they are focused on finding out where Or is.

Michael added: "We don't know anything. We know he is there somewhere, maybe in a tunnel.

"It's frightening. We feel helpless and scared and worried."
