Harrowing footage showing the abduction of five female soldiers from the Nahal Oz base on October 7 will be released today.
The video was taken by body cameras worn by Hamas terrorists that day as they attacked the base near the Gaza border.
It shows Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniella Gilboa and Naama Levy.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum says the three minutes and 10 seconds of footage is being released at the request of the families, and has been edited to remove some of the most disturbing images, including the multiple murdered bodies.
“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 forum says in a statement.
The footage will be released at 6 p.m. in Israel.
Ahead of the release, the forum has distributed a number of new images taken from the footage.

Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
Your support through The Times of Israel Community helps us continue to keep readers around the world properly informed about the critical Israel-US relationship. Do you appreciate our news coverage? If so, please join the ToI Community today.
