The family of hostage soldier Matan Angrest allows media outlets to air a full video of his abduction by Hamas terrorists during the October 7, 2023, onslaught.

The 21-year-old was taken from a tank at the Nahal Oz military base during the battle there.

In the kidnapping video, apparently taken on a cellphone by one of the terrorists, Angrest can be seen wounded and shirtless, being manhandled by several Hamas gunmen on top of the tank.

In April, Channel 12 news published a shorter version of the same clip and several still images from the video.
