Leary was kidnapped from Nahal Oz on Saturday morning. A family friend said: "I lost contact with her in the early hours of the morning. She is a happy and amazing girl, full of life. She loves to travel. She dreams of becoming an interior designer. Her partner was injured a year and a half ago and since then she accompanied him with total devotion. She was recognized on the second day of the war because of videos on Telegram They saw her and 3 other friends tied up in the van." The family says they received a last message from her at 06:45 in which she wrote that they were being shot at. Since then her traces have disappeared.
