The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group releases a new propaganda video featuring hostage Elad Katzir.
The 47-year-old was taken hostage from Nir Oz. His mother Hanna was also taken hostage, and was released in November. His father Rami was killed on October 7.
The latest video shows Katzir mourning the death of his friend Tamir Adar and calling on the Israeli government to do more to bring about his release.
Katzir was featured in another PIJ propaganda video on December 20 alongside another hostage, Gadi Mozes.
