THE sister of the terrified Israeli teen who was threatened with rape by Hamas butchers has revealed her sibling’s chilling last message.

Sasha Ariev, 24, received the final text from her only sister Karina Ariev, 19 – just moments before she was harassed by Hamas men inside a terror camp in Gaza.

Just last week, a shocking video appeared to show the five youngest Hamas hostages in Gaza – including Karina – being tortured by the brutal captors who constantly hurled sick taunts at the teen girls.

The gruesome clip showed even a Hamas terrorist pointing at Karina – who was kidnapped from her bed with her snoopy pyjamas – saying: “Here are the girls, women, who can get pregnant. These are the Zionists.”

He chillingly added in Arabic: “You are so beautiful.”

Just a few moments before the video was shot, Karina was able to send her final text to Sasha from a terror camp inside Gaza.

Sasha has now revealed her sister urged her to look after their parents and stay strong.

The neuroscience student, who has now paused her life to bring back her only sister home, added she could see the terror in Karina’s eyes – and revealed she might have thought “this could be the end”.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said: “I could see the understanding in her eyes, and a few minutes later she sent me a message that if she won’t leave if she won’t make it out alive, she asked me to keep our parents safe and to be strong and not to wallow in sorrow but to continue living.

“This is how we are. We are strong, and this is the bond between us and how we were holding this family together.”

The gruesome footage is thought to have been shot after Hamas men stormed parts of Israel and kidnapped hundreds of people in the horror attacks of October 7.

The agonising decision to release the video was made by Karina’s parents as well as the parents of 19-year-old Liri Albag, 19-year-old Naama Levy, 19-year-old Daniela Gilboa, 20-year-old Agam Berger as their daughters have still not made it back home.

The families are pleading with mediators to resume talks and bring their children home as they now shared the most graphic photos of their daughters to date.

The IDF altered the three-minute footage to protect the identities of the people who were killed.

Despite months of agonising pain, Sasha says it has now become her mission to get her sister back.

She said: “I’m doing everything I can to bring Karina back alive as soon as possible. And only afterwards will I allow myself to cry. Only tears of joy.”

It comes after Hamas launched a a chilling barrage of rocket attacks on Israel for the first time in months forcing civilians to flee their homes.

Rocket sirens were loudly blasted across Tel Aviv after eight missiles were said to have been launched from Gaza with pictures showing Israel’s famous Iron Dome intercepting several of them in mid-air.

Hamas announced they were aiming for Israel’s largest city, saying: “We fired a large salvo at Tel Aviv in response to the Zionist massacres of civilians.”

It is thought the barrage of missiles came from the city of Rafah where Israel has been constantly bombarding with strikes as they look to end the bloody war.

Rocket sirens rang out around Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Petah Tikva today as petrified locals were forced to take cover as the rockets flew overhead.

Just days ago, Israel was told to immediately cease its operation in Rafah, a southern part of the Gaza Strip where countless Palestinians have been sheltering.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) said the humanitarian crisis in Rafah had “deteriorated further”, with the situation now “disastrous”.

ICJ President Nawaf Salam said: “Israel must immediately halt its military offensive.”

The global court accused Israel of limiting aid to Gaza, which they deny.

Chief ICC prosecutor Karim Khan had requested arrest warrants for  Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in the Strip.

Hamas leaders were also included in the requests for international warrants.

The assault on Rafah in recent weeks comes as the IDF looks to seek and destroy any last remnants of Hamas so the war can be over.

Israel says the city is Hamas’ last major stronghold in the Gaza Strip.

They have been “eliminating terrorists” and “terrorist infrastructure” with hundreds of “terror targets” already being hit.

Repeated airstrikes have also been ongoing since the start of May with three “significant” tunnel shafts also being found.

Military tanks encircled the entire eastern half of the refugee-filled city as the planned assault started.

It is believed the remaining hostages are still being held underground inside the web of Hamas hideouts.

Israel has claimed around 120 hostages are still trapped in Rafah with pressure increasing for them to be finally saved after more than 230 days.

Many of these include young girls and the elderly.

Netanyahu says his country will continue to “fight with our fingernails” despite international authorities calling for a ceasefire.

The death toll of Israel’s military operation in Gaza has now passed at least 35,000 Palestinian civilians, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
