New footage broadcast by Channel 13 shows the moments in which slain hostage Yotam Haim was kidnapped on the morning of October 7 from his home in Kfar Aza.
In the pictures, Haim can be seen shirtless being pulled by four terrorists through the fields of the kibbutz before being forced into a black vehicle.
After viewing the footage, taken from security cameras, Haim’s mother Iris said it gave her some solace to see that he was taken with his “head held high.”
“He was very strong,” she says.
Yotam Haim and fellow Israeli hostages Alon Shamriz and Samar Talalka were shot dead by IDF troops who mistakenly identified them as a threat, on December 15, in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City, when they emerged from a building shirtless and waving a white flag.
