Hamas share footage of three Israeli hostages
Hamas terrorists have paraded three women hostages before the camera in a sickening propaganda video designed to put pressure on Israeli politicians as the military ramp up a ground assault on Gaza.
In the footage released by Hamas the three distressed-looking adult females, who look to be a range of ages, plead with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure their release.
In response to the video, the Israeli leader said: “Our heart is with you and will all the other hostages. We are doing everything we can to bring all the kidnapped and missing home.”
it is thought the three women are being held in Gaza likely after being kidnapped during the October 7 terror attacks on Israel.
According to the Times of Israel the women accuse Netanyahu of “failing to prevent the Hamas attack”, in words they are most likely being forced to say by their captors. The publication said the Prime Minister’s Office has named the hostages as Daniel Aloni, Rimon Kirsht and Yelena Trupanob.
Releasing video of innocent civilians held hostage supposedly within Gaza will most likely be a ploy by Hamas to sow discord in Israel among the public.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has been ratcheting up the pressure on the territory in the past 24 hours, saying one strike killed at least 20 terrorists in one building.
Tanks, armour and soldiers have been moving into Gaza with some reports they are taking position on the main highway that runs the length of the enclave.
The Israeli military say around 240 men, women and children are being held hostage in Gaza and the fight to free them is likely to be very difficult.

Meeting with families of those taken hostage Mr Netanyahu told them rescuing their loved ones was an “integral” part of the military operation.
He said: “Pressure is key. The greater the pressure the greater the chances.”
Defence Minister Yoav Gallant echoed his sentiments and in a separate news conference.
He said: “The more military pressure, the more firepower and the more we strike Hamas, the greater our chances are to bring it to a place where it will agree to a solution that will allow the return of your loved ones.”
Israeli troops and tanks pushed deeper into Gaza on Monday, advancing on two sides of the territory’s main city, as the UN and medical staff warned that airstrikes have hit closer to hospitals where tens of thousands of Palestinians have sought shelter alongside thousands of wounded.
Video circulating on social media showed an Israeli tank and bulldozer in central Gaza blocking the territory’s main north-south highway, which the Israeli military earlier told Palestinians to use to escape the expanding ground offensive.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who remain in the north would no longer be able to escape if the road is blocked since it’s the only usable route south.
