(May 22, 2024 / JNS) The Hostages and Missing Families Forum on Wednesday evening released a video of Hamas terrorists abducting female Israel Defense Forces spotters on Oct. 7.

Footage taken by body cameras of the terrorists reveals the violence and trauma experienced by five of the seven spotters captured alive from the Nahal Oz base. Another 15 field observers serving there were murdered during the attack.

The video running time is three minutes and 10 seconds. It was edited and censored to exclude the most disturbing scenes, including the corpses of those murdered at Nahal Oz and inside the bomb shelter where the soldiers were captured.

“The footage reveals the violent, humiliating and traumatizing treatment the girls endured on the day of their abduction, their eyes filled with raw terror,” said the forum.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trigger alert –

The video of the female observers’ abduction, is a wake-up call to the civilized world. We must condemn those actions and we can not abandon the hostages held captive for 229 days.

This video, captured by the body cameras of Hamas terrorists on October 7th, has been edited and censored to exclude the most disturbing scenes, such as the numerous murdered young men and women at the Nahal Oz base and inside the bomb shelter from which the female observers were taken.

The Israeli government and the international community can’t waste another moment – we must get back to the negotiation table today!

The group represents the families of the hostages taken to Gaza during Hamas’s Oct. 7 onslaught on the northwestern Negev. One hundred twenty-eight captives remain in Gaza out of the 252 kidnapped.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was “shocked by the video showing the kidnapping of our dear observers.

“We will continue to do everything to return them home. The brutality of these Hamas terrorists only reinforces my determination to fight with full strength until Hamas is eliminated, to ensure that what we saw tonight will never be repeated,” added the premier.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said, “This video shows the harrowing moments on Oct. 7 that five young female soldiers from a lookout post protecting towns and Kibbutzim in southern Israel, were beaten, threatened with rape, and brutally taken hostage by Hamas terrorists.

“The video has been released by the brave families and we continue to offer them all our strength and love. Liri, Karina, Agam, Daniella, and Naama are all still in Hamas captivity and we are fighting to bring them home as well as all other hostages—128 in total!” he continued.

The Israeli head of state concluded, “The world must look at this cruel atrocity. Those who care about women’s rights must speak out. All those who believe in freedom must speak out, and do everything possible to bring all of the hostages home now.”

‘We no longer had a choice’

The decision to release the video was made by the families of the five spotters who remain in Gaza captivity 229 days later: Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa and Naama Levy.

The other two observers captured alive were Ori Megidish, whom the IDF rescued in October, and Noa Marciano, who was murdered by a doctor at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital and whose body was recovered by the IDF in November and returned to Israel for burial.

Roni Albag, sister of 19-year-old hostage Liri Albag, who appears in the video wearing a blue sweatshirt, told JNS on Wednesday, “It was very hard for us to see Liri in her most difficult moments—the fear in her eyes, death all around her as some of her friends were killed.

“I cried for two straight days. I couldn’t think of the fact that she is there, that I couldn’t protect and fight for her,” said Roni. “I see her face and the fear in her eyes every night before going to sleep and every morning when I wake up.”

Roni explained that family members first saw the footage a month ago.

“Originally, we did not want to release it to the world to protect the girls. We did not want the world to see them in such difficult moments, and we didn’t want it out there once they returned,” she said. “But we felt that we no longer had a choice. We needed the world to remember what Israel went through on Oct. 7 and that 128 hostages are still held captive in hell. The world should be outraged by this footage and must help us get them out.”

‘This is not a game’

“We can’t lose hope. There are still a lot of people alive waiting to be saved and Liri is one of them,” Roni continued. “We will do everything for her to see her home again, hold us and come back to her life.

“It stresses me out to no end; I am her big sister,” said Roni. “To know what she went through and what she is still going through. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity. This is not a game; this is the life of people.”

The forum published chilling screenshots from the video, including a caption of a Hamas terrorist saying “You are so beautiful” while the young recruits are being zip-tied.

“Every new testimony about what happened to the hostages echoes the same tragic truth—we must bring them all back home, now. The State of Israel cannot accept a reality where its citizens constantly feel their lives are threatened and suffer from unrelenting fear and anxiety,” said the forum.

“With each passing day, it becomes more challenging to bring the hostages back home—the living for rehabilitation and the murdered for proper burial. The Israeli government must not waste another moment; it must return to the negotiating table today!”

Dirty Fing basta*ds. Not one Arab country wants any of them

AND BIDEN. WANTS THis slime here.

Pew Research, of the Palestineans revealed that more than 95% of the population there hate the Jews

I surely hope the IDF has identified these POS, and exterminates them.

I don’t know if they were armed, but a while back I read they knew something nefarious was going on with planning some attack, but the government (or their superiors) did not listen.

Though I agree with you, since these are actually people, you need to have an excuse. You can shoot Coyotes preemptively. With the human ones, to preserve their human dignity as “God’s image”, you have to catch them in the actual act, in a “self defense” way.

Agree.

I think horror should be honestly appraised, not censored.

All those TV reruns with “viewer discretion” or “may be disturbing” are not as bad as the following news shows later. That’s how far the human race has descended.

Hamas/Palestinian supports should be forced to watch what they are advocating.

I feel what you're saying, but many simply become more ravenous at the sight of Israeli/Jewish blood, like piranhas.

I watched it and its stomach churning. No way those vicious animals ever get a state.

Hamas terrorists abducting female Israel Defense Forces spotters on Oct. 7.

South Korea would not have made this mistake on 10/7.

After the war, Bibi needs to be held accountable for his enormous blunder on defense on that day.

This isn't the 1986 World Series and he's not Bill Buckner.

From Ynet News:

Show, don't tell: Envoys from Spain, Ireland, Norway forced to watch Hamas video

In reprimand meeting over their countries' intention to recognize a Palestinian state, the ambassadors watched the footage of Hamas terrorists after abducting female IDF soldiers; 'Recognition could be seen as rewarding Hamas' actions'
