Harrowing Video Released: Nahal Oz Abduction Reveals Terror Faced by Captive Female Observers
The parents of the five female observers kidnapped from the Nahal Oz base, who remain in Hamas captivity, decided today (Wednesday, May 22nd), to release the video footage of their daughters' abduction to the public and media.
The video, captured by the body cameras of Hamas terrorists on October 7th, spans 03:10 minutes and has been edited and censored to exclude the most disturbing scenes, such as the numerous murdered young men and women at the Nahal Oz base and inside the bomb shelter from which the female observers were taken.
The footage reveals the violent, humiliating, and traumatizing treatment the girls endured on the day of their abduction, their eyes filled with raw terror.
*The video will be distributed in full at 18:00 Israel time.
"Every new testimony about what happened to the hostages echoes the same tragic truth – we must bring them all back home, now. The State of Israel cannot accept a reality where its citizens constantly feel their lives are threatened and suffer from unrelenting fear and anxiety. With each passing day, it becomes more challenging to bring the hostages back home – the living for rehabilitation and the murdered for proper burial. The Israeli government must not waste another moment; it must return to the negotiating table today!"
*Background: Seven observers were abducted alive from the Nahal Oz base. Ori Megidish was rescued by IDF forces after 23 days in captivity; Noa Marciano was murdered by Hamas terrorists while in captivity, and her body was returned by the IDF for burial in Israel. Five female observers - Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa, and Naama Levy - have been held captive by Hamas for 229 days.
BREAKING: The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the ambassadors from Ireland, Spain, and Norway to a meeting in Jerusalem today in which they were asked to watch the full ‘atrocities video’ of Hamas’ brutal attack on Israeli civilians on October 7th.
Dear Norway, Ireland and Spain - when you choose to recognize a Palestinian state today, you are rewarding the Oct 7 butcherers, rapists and abductors of Jewish children, women and countless innocent people.
Eternal shame on you!
Their voice will be heard! 🎗️🎗️🎗️

FotoHistórica 🇯🇵🐾🐶 | (1935)
“Última foto de Hachiko, el perro fiel que esperó durante más de 9 años fuera de la estación de Shibuya a que su amo regresara incluso después de perecer.
En marzo de 1935, se capturó esta conmovedora imagen de Hachiko, el leal Akita Inu japonés, tomada poco antes de su fallecimiento. Esta fotografía📸 representa el final de una historia de devoción y fidelidad que ha conmovido al mundo.
Hachiko se hizo famoso por esperar pacientemente a su dueño, el profesor Hidesaburo Ueno, afuera de la estación de tren de Shibuya en Tokio, cada día, incluso después de la muerte de Ueno en 1925. Durante casi una década, Hachiko regresó al mismo lugar día tras día, esperando el regreso de su amado amo.
La historia de Hachiko ha inspirado libros, películas y monumentos en todo el mundo, convirtiéndose en un símbolo de lealtad inquebrantable y amor incondicional. Esta última fotografía captura la serenidad y la dignidad de un perro que nunca perdió la esperanza, incluso en los momentos finales de su vida.
Hoy, la estatua de bronce de Hachiko frente a la estación de Shibuya es un lugar de encuentro icónico y un recordatorio perdurable del poder del vínculo entre humanos y animales”.
