1.59 a.m. Yusuf, may God keep you safe, my dear. Asil, thank God, I'm fine. Don't worry.

In the video, the camera is pointed at what looks like a pile of rubble, but it's hard to see because it's dark and they're surrounded by a cloud of dust and debris. In the upper corner of the video, there's a piece of drywall, maybe a fallen ceiling. Asil is saying, I can't see a thing, calling for her husband, Ahmed. Someone says, Ahmed is there, he's there.

I got messages from Aseel that night, too. She wrote, I hope to stay alive until the morning. This is the hardest night since the beginning of the war. I'm so scared. And she wrote, I feel like I won't meet my family again. Did she sound different to you than she has sounded at other scary moments?

It took 11 hours before he heard anything. His other sister, Heba, finally got through to a SEAL. They'd survived. Heba was hiring an ambulance to try to get a SEAL out. She wasn't injured. It was just the only way the family could figure out how to get to her. She's moving to Gaza City?

Hamash family group chat. Yusuf to the group. A SEAL has arrived at the girl's house. Are you asking or telling? Yusuf, I'm telling you. Upside down face. Thank God she's safe. Thank God. May God keep them safe and well. God willing. And then, 5.51 p.m., Asil shows back up in the chat. Asil, I'm fine, guys, but I'm devastated. I got a text, too. I'm fine, she said, but my psyche is broken.
