A young American-Israeli attendee party that was disrupted by Hamas terrorists on Saturday texted his parents “I love you” and “I’m sorry,” before becoming unreachable — as harrowing video shows the attackers paragliding into the party and the abduction attendees appear.
Hersh Golberg-Polin, who just turned 23 this week, was celebrating in the northern Negev desert when Hamas militants stormed the party and began attacking attendees, his father told The Jerusalem Post.
After texting her parents, “I love you” and “I’m sorry,” Golberg-Polin became unreachable.
“We just want him to come home and be safe,” his father Jonathon Polin told the outlet, adding that if he could tell his son anything, he would say: “We love you. Come home to us.”
The 23-year-old has also celebrated his release from Army service, which he ended at the end of April.
During his service, Golberg-Polin drove a tank in the 7th Armored Brigade and later trained to be a medic, his father said, adding that his son thought it was “more interesting than driving a horse-drawn carriage.”
Since his service, he enjoys traveling, music festivals, and watching the Hapoel Jerusalem soccer team.
He had worked as a doctor and waitress to try and save up to visit India, which had been his dream for a long time, his father said.

Golberg-Polin, a native of Berkeley, California, made aliyah with her mother, father, and two younger sisters when she was just 7 years old.
Hundreds of people were forced to leave an outdoor music festival overnight Saturday as Palestinian militants fired rockets and gunfire.

Israel suffered more than 300 deaths and nearly 1,600 wounded in a surprise attack from Hamas that was the worst attack the country has faced in 50 years.
The attack on Israel was timed on a major Jewish holiday, Sichat Torah, and occurred on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 War in which Arab nations bombed the country on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur.
A Hamas spokesman claimed that the amount of Israeli hostages taken was “many times greater than what Netanyahu thought.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced “We are at war” and promised Hamas would pay an “unprecedented price.”
