Hamas releases a propaganda video in which three Israeli women held hostage by the terror group in the Gaza Strip berate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling on him to secure their release and accusing him of failing to prevent the terror group’s October 7 onslaught.
The identities of the three women, whose statement was almost certainly dictated by their captors, are not immediately clear.
As the IDF intensifies its operation in the Gaza Strip, Hamas is thought to be employing various psychological manipulations to sow division and weaken Israelis’ resolve, while using the negotiations for the release of the estimated 240 captives it is holding to buy time and resources for its military campaign.
