Yasmeen Elagha told The Canadian Press from Chicago that her uncle and two American-born cousins are missing.
Ahmed Alagha was born in Canada, Elagha said, and lived in Toronto with his American-born sons Borak, 18, and Hashem, 20, before they moved to Gaza in the mid-2000s.
She said all three men have Canadian citizenship, and they were kidnapped by Israeli forces early Thursday.
“They have so many people who are asking about them in Canada. They left such a big impression on their community there when they lived in Toronto,” Elagha said.
She added that three younger children, who are also Canadian citizens, and their mother Samar, who has Canadian permanent residency, were not taken.
In an interview on Thursday, she criticized Canada’s response to the incident, decrying a lack of urgency and poor communication.
