Graphic Video Of 3 Hostages Being Abducted,

 


WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC FOOTAGE


 In an attempt to pressure the Israeli government to complete a deal with Hamas to release hostages, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum released on Monday the video of the capture of hostages Hersh Goldberg-Polin (23), Eliya Cohen (26), and Or Levy (33), who were kidnapped on October 7. Goldberg-Polin, Cohen, and Levy all attended the Nova festival.


The footage, taken from Hamas terrorists’ cameras, included the moments of the kidnapping of the three hostages as well as the time they spent in a mobile shelter.

Parts of the video have been blurred as per the families’ requests, the forum noted, but they are still very graphic and jarring to watch. Hersh can be seen in the video badly injured, with his arm blown off, and the other hostages are also injured at their capture.

In a statement published with the video, the forum wrote, “This harrowing footage stands as a damning testament to the 262-day-long abandonment of our loved ones. Hersh, Eliya, and Or were taken alive, and they must return alive, today.

“Every day that passes puts the hostages at greater risk and diminishes our chances of bringing them back safely.

“After nearly 9 months of fighting and despite recent achievements, it’s clear to everyone that returning all 120 hostages is only possible through a deal! We must approve and implement an agreement that will bring all hostages home – the living for rehabilitation and the murdered for proper burial,” the statement added.
