Hamas fighters have released a video of another girl taken hostage. After seeing this, the family of 19-year-old Liri Albagh has appealed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli politicians and world leaders. He said that now the decision should be taken considering that their own children have been taken hostage. A statement issued by the family said, ‘We are appealing to the Prime Minister, world leaders and all decision makers. Now this decision will have to be taken as if these were your own children.
Liri Alabagh was kidnapped by Hamas fighters on October 7, 2023. She was 18 years old when she was captured along with six other female soldiers from the Nahal Oz base on the Gaza border. Of these, 5 are still in their captivity. Hamas’s armed wing is known as the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades. He released a video of the Israeli hostage on Saturday. In the three and a half minute video recording, Albagh is appealing in Hebrew to the Israeli government for his release. This clip is going viral on social media.
251 people were taken hostage
Hamas and its ally Islamic Jihad have released several videos of Israeli hostages during the 15-month war in Gaza. It is known that Hamas fighters had taken 251 people hostage during the 2023 attack, of which 96 remained in Gaza. The Israeli military says 34 of them have been killed. Talks between Hamas and Israel to end the nearly 15-month war in Gaza have gained momentum in recent weeks. However, both sides have accused each other of creating obstacles and withdrawing from agreements. There have also been allegations of delaying the ceasefire and delaying the release of hostages.
