A shocking video, with 5 Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Hamas in the attack on 7 October 2023. The Hostages’ Families Forum has released a video showing the kidnapping of some female soldiers from the IDF base in Nahal Oz by Hamas. The video, filmed by the militiamen’s bodycams, lasts three minutes and 10 seconds and was initially censored. The Forum, we read on the Jerusalem Post website, reported that the decision to publish the video was taken by the families of the five female soldiers still held prisoner in Gaza: Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa and Naama Levy.
The harsh images
In the images, the female soldiers appear shocked and bloodied. They are wearing civilian clothes after being surprised at dawn by the militiamen’s attack, who insult and threaten them. “Bitches,” we hear. “Our brothers died because of you, we will shoot them all”, says another voice. Another terrorist describes the hostages as “women who can get pregnant.” “You’re beautiful,” says another, addressing one of the girls.
“Every new testimony about what happened to the hostages echoes the same tragic truth: we must bring them all home now – the Forum said in a statement – The State of Israel cannot accept a reality in which its citizens constantly feel the their lives threatened and suffer from fear and anxiety. With each passing day it becomes more and more difficult to bring the hostages home: the living for rehabilitation and the killed for a dignified burial of negotiations today!”.
“I am shocked by the video documenting the kidnapping of our dear soldiers. We will continue to do everything to bring them home,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The brutality of the Hamas terrorists only strengthens my determination to fight with all my might until their elimination to ensure that what we saw tonight never happens again,” Netanyahu added, according to the Canale website 12.
