Israel-Gaza War, Hostages
For the First Time: A Sign of Life from the Hostages of the Islamic Jihad
For the first time since the beginning of the fighting, the Islamic Jihad organization publishes a video revealing two hostages being held by it, Chana Katzi and Yagil Ya'akov from Kibbutz Nir Oz.
For the first time since the beginning of the war, a video has been released that includes photographs and signs of life of hostages held by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization.
The terrorist organization released a video this evening showing two Israeli abductees, Chana Katzir from Kibbutz Nir Oz and 13-year-old Yagil Ya'akov, also from the Kibbutz.
This is the first video of abductees being held by the Islamic Jihad and not by Hamas, during the video the two abductees are filmed with a Hebrew translation reading what can be concluded as a text dictated to them by the kidnapping terrorists. In the video the two talk about the essential need for food and supplies for the Gaza Strip and both encourage the demonstrations against the war and in favor of releasing hostages.
The terrorist organization claims that they intend to release the two abductees "as a result of humanitarian and medical necessity" and that they will do so "when the humanitarian conditions are ripe."
