Female hostages and Israeli soldiers Liri Albag, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa and Naama Levy during their capture by Hamas militants at Nahal Oz military base in southern Israel on 7 October The young women, some still wearing pyjamas, are seen huddled against a wall with bloodied faces and clothing as the gunmen scream at them. More than a dozen militants are seen binding their hands, with one shouting in English for them to be quiet.
Israel’s army recently declassified the video and turned it over to the women’s relatives. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which released the video, said the families were publicising the footage in an effort to pressure their government into reaching a deal with Hamas for the Ashley Waxman Bakshi, cousin of another woman in the video, Agam Berger, said she cried when she saw it. “Toward the end, I felt like I was going to throw up. I think any person who watches this video will understand that feeling, especially as a woman,” she said.The footage released on Wednesday is about three minutes long and edited, with some images blurred to censor what the forum said is especially sensitive material.
A group of militants is also seen holding a hostage by the hands and feet. It is not clear whether the hostage is alive or dead. Another scene shows three of the soldiers in the back of a moving vehicle, faces bloodied as militants surround them. Ms Berger, wearing a brown shirt, is one of them.
