Hamas has released a second gut-wrenching propaganda video of Israeli hostage Elkana Bohbot.

“This is not a psychological warfare video. The only one experiencing psychological warfare is me, waking up every morning without my wife and son. It’s tearing me apart. It’s messing with my head. I want to get out of here. I miss my wife, my son, everyone. Get me out of here,” the 35-year-old says under duress.

Bohbot was working security at the Nova music festival near Kibbutz Reim when Hamas terrorists stormed across the border on October 7th, 2023. His last communication with family came at 8:05 that fateful morning when he told them he was helping evacuate people from the site.

Israeli officials have consistently condemned Hamas’s disgusting practice of releasing videos of their tortured hostages. The latest footage follows Hamas’s Monday release showing both Bohbot and fellow captive 25-year-old Yosef-Haim Ohana.

In that earlier video, Bohbot referred to himself as “prisoner number 22” and made direct appeals to former hostage Ohad Ben Ami who was held in their cell before being released in early February. It ends with both hostages looking into the camera saying, “Tell them, Ohad.”

    Each of us must pray for his freedom and reunion with his family With Utmost Kavana
    Some of us yidden are very suspicious of the motives and likely foul play of the dibbuks who perpetrated the breach on the border on October 7th. These kidnappings should have never even have happened, and those responsible should be held to the most aggressive prosecution of sedition to make an example for future generations. Couple decades ago we had the mantra of we don’t negotiate with terrorists otherwise it incentivize them to do it more. One hostage to up to 500 prisoners released to do it all over again?!?!?! Drain the swamp in the holy land! preventing these tragedies is crucial.

    Cannot find words to express my horror at the behaviour of those savages. A 50-day ceasefire means only that Hamas will prepare for another October 7 by recruiting more terrorists., bringing more weapons into Gaza. What is even more puzzling than all this is the question of why Mr Netanyahu remains Prime Minister while being on notice for a trial on corruption. Is he prolonging this horrendous war in which we have lost at least 800 IDF young people?

    Let’s weigh the options, hypothetical the President is disrespected and steps down, that maybe fuel for the opportunists winning play card under his sleeve.
    The enemy may even be within the camp propagating and time-wasting for the moment of the Presidens’ trial and judgement to high jack another formation of October 7, 2023.

    The enemies fears is His Honorable Netanyahu, who has personal experience in warfare.
    In all wars there are many collateral loss of life and damage, as a result let us be realistic, those innocent captives in the hands of these terrorists might surprise us all. It might be they cannot wait to see the enemy defeated and crushed in spite of their suffering and lives at stake.
