  • An Israeli paramedic said it's impossible to escape videos of Hamas' attacks on Israel.
  • He learned his friends were kidnapped by the militant group from a viral video.
  • Another friend's death came to light when a dispatch call in which she begged for help surfaced.

On Saturday, as Yan Gorjaltsan finished working more than 24 hours caring for victims of Hamas' attacks in southern Israel, his friends were asking in a WhatsApp group chat about his childhood friend, Noa Argamani.

No one knew where she was, so the 27-year-old Israeli paramedic posted a story to his Instagram asking if anyone had seen his friend.
