Son 'sad,' 'anxious' as 74-year-old mother remains missing
A 74-year-old mother who is missing in Israel fought for peace her whole life, her son told ABC News Live on Monday.
Yonatan Zeigen said he last heard from his mother, Vivian Silver, at 11:07 a.m. on Saturday morning while she was hiding in a closet as Hamas fighters entered her house.
Zeigen added that he didn't know if Israeli soldiers had been to her house yet and hadn't heard "anything concrete" about the search yet.
Zeigen talked about his mother's commitment to peace, since Silver moved to a kibbutz in Israel in the 1990s.
"She fought for equality," he said. "She's been involved with a lot of different organizations promoting peace and promoting solution for the conflict.
"Up until recently, she would drive sick Palestinians from the Gaza border to Israeli hospitals through an organization called Road to Recovery," Zeigen said.
"No, I'm primarily sad, and anxious," Zeigen said when asked if he was angry about the situation. "War is blind. You can do what you do in your life...it doesn't make you any less of a target in times of war."
