Family members of hostages held captive in Gaza are turning to more extreme measures in their pressure campaign against the Israeli government.
Newly released videos of Hamas hostages in Gaza have spurred fear and anger across Israel—along with a tidal wave of renewed backlash against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The undated video concludes with a promise: “Tomorrow we will inform you of their fate.”
The IDF’s review stated that the three hostages were unarmed, with one of them waving a white flag, but they were “standing at a point with limited visibility.”
Gadi Haggai, 73, was taking a morning walk at his kibbutz on Oct. 7 when Hamas attacked Israel.
