Yotam Kipnis hasn’t heard from his parents since 8.30am on Saturday, when he rang his mother and she told him they were hiding inside the shelter of their home on the Be’eri kibbutz and could hear gunfire outside.
“I tried to call her again at 10 o’clock and she didn’t answer,” said Kipnis, 29, a human rights worker who grew up on the kibbutz in southern Israel, four miles (6.5km) from the Gaza border.
