🚨JUST IN: Image of the damage to the police station in Sderot following armed clashes today. We saw an Israeli bulldozer destroy the building to force the 10 Hamas members out.

A majority of the Officers are said to have been unarmed and on break when they were attacked.

There are reports that JUST CAME OUT indicating hundreds of partygoers still missing. 🚨THE GIRL TAKEN ON MOTORBIKE: Noa Argamani was one of those captured. She was captured while clinging to her boyfriend's motorcycle. She pleaded for her boyfriend, Avi Nathan, as she was led away. Noa and Avi had been enjoying the rave in the desert, but their celebration took a horrifying turn when they had to flee, only to be captured by the Hamas members who entered Israel. Recent reports indicate Noa has been transferred into Gaza by Hamas.
