Hamas releases a propaganda video showing Eden Yerushalmi, who was kidnapped on October 7 and executed in Gaza last week.
Her body, along with five others, was recovered by IDF troops over the weekend. She was laid to rest yesterday.
Hamas has previously issued similar videos of hostages it has held and murdered, in what Israel says is deplorable psychological warfare. Most Israeli media do not carry the video clips themselves.
Yerushalmi’s family approved the release of a short section of the video.
“Our Eden, we love you too and we miss you like crazy. You are forever in our hearts,” her family says in a statement released by the Hostages and Missing Family Forum.
The full video released by the terror group ends with the message, “Exchange deal… freedom & life, military pressure… death and failure,” in Arabic, Hebrew and English.
