Video of six hostages executed by Hamas terrorists released, 'last messages' promised
The video vowed to reveal their final communications.
Six hostages who were recently found dead in Israel were shown in a disturbing terrorist propaganda video released by Hamas.
On Monday, a video was reportedly posted on Hamas' Telegram account, featuring Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Ori Danino, 25, Alex Lobanov, 32, Carmel Gat, 40, and Almog Sarusi, 27, speaking in the video.
The hostages in the black-and-white footage looked emaciated. Each of them introduced themselves, including Goldberg-Polin, an Israeli-American kidnapped at the Re'im music festival on Oct. 7.
A 23-year-old resident of Jerusalem was missing part of his arm after a grenade attack.
"We Will Show Their Last Messages," the video was captioned.
On Saturday, six hostages were found dead in tunnels beneath Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, during an Israel Defense Ministry (IDF) operation. The IDF suspects that the hostages were killed just before Israeli soldiers arrived at the scene.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, an IDF spokesperson, stated over the weekend that according to their initial assessment, the individuals were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists just before they were reached.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed shock and disbelief at the "terrible cold-blooded murder" of six of Israel's abductees.
"The Israeli leader stated, "He who kills abductees does not seek a deal." The nation is facing a difficult day, with the entire heart torn apart."
