Palestinian Islamic Jihad publishes fourth video of hostage Sasha Trufanov

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group publishes another video of hostage Sasha Trufanov, two days after it released a different clip of him.

The clip is the fourth video that the terror group has released of Trufanov.

It is unclear when the video was made. In the clip Trufanov says that he is aged 28; however, he turned 29 earlier this week, his second birthday in captivity.

In the nearly two-minute-long video, Trufanov — in a statement almost certainly dictated by his captors in the Gaza Strip — asks Shas chairman Aryeh Deri to convince the government to agree to a deal for the hostages’ release, reminding him of the Jewish obligation to free all captives.

Terror groups have previously issued similar videos of hostages in what Israel says is deplorable psychological warfare.

Most Israeli media do not carry the video clips.

Trufanov was taken hostage along with three members of his family — grandmother Irena Tati, mother Yelena (Lena) Trufanova and his girlfriend Sapir Cohen — from Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 Hamas massacre in the Gaza border town.

Trufanova and Tati were released by Hamas on November 29 at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Cohen was released on November 30 as part of a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
