Keith and his wife Aviva (Adrienne) were kidnapped from their home in Kibbutz Kfar Gaza by Hamas militants and taken to Gaza. The Siegel family has four children and five grandchildren. They have lived in the kibbutz for 42 years. They both came to Israel from the United States, believing in the Jewish state, they got to know Israel and fell in love. Keith is an occupational therapist. Their children said that they talked to them on Saturday morning. Their son heard the terrorists enter, heard screams, but no shots. A neighbor of the couple testified that he saw them being taken from their home by terrorists. Later, the family received a message from the army that apparently they were kidnapped in Keith's car. Aviva was released as part of the third step in the deal for the release of the abductees on 26.11.23. Keith remained kidnapped in Gaza.
