The father of one of the backpackers who contacted the rescue services siad "somebody was attempting to break into their room."
"Letters with blatant sexual proposals were slid under the door," the father added.
"(Somebody) was peeking through the window with a flashlight," according to the rescue company's agent who called the Israeli backpackers at the time of the incident.
"After 15 minutes the men left the premises. However, the women remained terrified. They felt like they were still in danger and did not know whether the men would come back," the Magnus agent said.

"At some point we were very concerned that the men would break into the room and asked the backpackers to send us a picture (of the room). We saw the room had windows, so we instructed the women to take out the curtains stick and use it for defense in case the drunken men succeeded in entering the room," he explained.

One of the girls, identified as K., 22, who was involved in the incident, said that she and three more young Israelis arrived at the guest house very late and were eager to go to bed. "But, there was one man who began harassing us."
"At the beginning, he offered us water. Then he slipped a letter under the door asking us to join his bed. We were shocked. We didn't fully realized what was happening and told him to go away, but he continued and suddenly we saw him peeking through the window with a flashlight," K. recalled.
"I called my father in hysterics in Israel and he contacted Magnus that took charge of matter. In the meantime, the man didn't give up trying to break through the door shouting: 'Lady, give me a kiss,'" K. added.
Another one of the girls, identified as A., described the experience as "hell. There is no other way to put it. (It was) like a horror movie."
Hilik Magnus, the founder and chief rescuer of Magnus, said the aforementioned incident is the third one within the last three months in which drunken Indians have attempted to break into the rooms of Israeli female backpackers staying in guest houses.
