Hamas releases additional footage of hostage Evyatar David
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas publishes additional footage of hostage Evyatar David, a day after releasing a short clip of the captive.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum requests that media outlets do not publish the footage until permission is received from David’s family.
A short while ago, David’s family approved the publication of 40 seconds of Friday’s Hamas video, which is one and a half minutes long and does not feature David talking.
The video issued by Hamas today is five minutes long and includes David giving a statement almost certainly dictated by his captors.
