The families of female Israeli soldiers captured from an Israeli base on Oct. 7, 2023, approved the release of footage this week, showing Hamas terrorists holding them at gunpoint after storming the base.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum—an organization representing families of Israelis taken captive on Oct. 7—released the video (warning, graphic content) on social media on Wednesday alongside a call for the Israeli government and the international community to press forward with negotiations for the release of more captives. The Israeli foreign ministry also shared the video in a Wednesday social media post and identified the five Israeli soldiers in the video as Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa, and Naama Levy.
