The Army Wing A Hamas published on Saturday a video recording with an Israeli-American hostage in Life in Gaza, which was abducted during the bloody attack of the Palestinian Islamist Movement on October 7, 2023, AFP reports.
The Forum of the Families of the hostages, the main organization that advocates for the liberation of the Israeli detained in the Gaza strip, identified as Edan Alexander.
He was a resulted in an elite unit stationed near the border with the Palestinian territory at the time of the attack, after which the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza was triggered.
AFP could not determine the date when the video recording was made, writes Agerpres.
Broadcast by the Al-Qassam brigades, the shooting takes a little over three minutes and shows the hostage standing in a narrow space. Speaking in front of the room and frequently moving his hands, Edan Alexander criticizes the Israeli government because he has not yet ensured the release.
Speaking obviously under coercion, he says he wants to go home to spend his holidays.
In Israel, the Jewish Easter is currently celebrated, which marks the liberation of the Jewish people from the slavery to which it was subjected to Egypt.
“Our Edan, a soldier who emigrated to Israel and joined the Golani brigade to defend the country and his citizens, is still held captive by Hamas,” said his family, according to a statement of the Families Families Forum.
The family did not allow the press to publish registration.
