Ayelet Levy, mother of 19-year-old Naama Levy, who has been held hostage by Hamas since October 7, is appealing for her daughter to return home, for all the hostages to return home in the video he released yesterday the Hostage and Disappeared Families Forum;

“My heart goes out to my daughter, Naama, in those horrific moments, that terrifying day of October 7th. This is just that day. Since then he has been there for 229 days. We see in this video only a part of the horrible things that happen in the shelter. She is terrified and hurt, fear in her eyes, and she says she can, begging for her life.

The top priority is for him to come home, for everyone to come home now,” says the mother.

The video, captured by Hamas gunmen’s body cameras, is 3:10 minutes long and has been edited to remove harsh footage. The forum said the decision to release the video was made by the families of the five female soldiers held hostage in Gaza: Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa and Naama Levy.

Seven Israeli army women were kidnapped alive from the base. Ori Meghndis was rescued by the IDF in October while Noa Marciano was killed by Hamas during her captivity. Her body was recovered by the IDF in November and returned to Israel for burial.

“Look them in the eye,” said the Hostage and Family Forum.

“The video is a powerful indictment of the national failure in hostage management over the past 229 days.” The video shows the brutal and humiliating treatment of the girls on the day of their abduction and shows the immense fear, which is reflected in their eyes, the forum also said.
