Irit and Kobi Ohel, the parents of hostage Alon Ohel, say their son is losing sight in his right eye and are demanding that he see an eye doctor before any more humanitarian aid is approved or negotiations are held with Hamas, after the terror group released propaganda footage of the captive earlier today.

They say the family was “shaken” by the footage, in which “it is clear that Alon is losing his vision in his right eye, and he is thin and frightened.”

“On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, in these days of repentance, the fate of the lives of young Jews, Israeli citizens, is in the hands of the prime minister and the cabinet. Don’t break the nation of Israel’s heart,” they say.
