The family of hostage Maxim Herkin says they identified his voice in a propaganda video released by the Hamas terror group earlier today.
In a statement sent out by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, the family asks media outlets to refrain from publishing the blurred clip released by Hamas of two captives.
The video marks the first sign of life from Herkin since he was abducted during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, onslaught.
