## Families of female Israeli hostages release graphic abduction footage to pile pressure on Netanyahu

Authored by edition.cnn.com

Families of seven female Israeli soldiers captured by Hamas during the October 7 attacks have released graphic footage of their abduction as they pile pressure on the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure their release.

The video shows the women — all Israel Defense Forces (IDF) personnel — lined up against a wall, their hands bound.

The footage was previously released by Hamas, according to the Hostages Families Forum.

The campaigning group obtained it from the IDF, which had previously edited the video to exclude the most disturbing scenes.

“Every new testimony about what happened to the hostages echoes the same tragic truth – we must bring them all back home, now,” the Hostage Families Forum said in a press release Wednesday.

Netanyahu said Wednesday he is “horrified by the video showing the abduction of our dear field observers.”

Efforts to reach a deal that would pause the war in Gaza and allow the release of hostages have repeatedly been dashed. »
