The video showed an Israeli family, a couple visibly distraught, and their two kids traumatized over the execution of their sister and ask their father, why he has blood on his hands. "Why is there blood on your hands, papa?" the son asked and broke down.
"I wanted her to stay alive," the brother is heard saying while sobbing. "Is there no chance that she will come back?" the other sibling asks. "My sister is dead," she says. "It didn't happen," her mother said, in shock amid the horrifying situation as an armed man walked in front of the camera.
Further in the video, a person, most likely their captor, shouts: ¡°Relax, relax, she went to heaven.¡± The parents then consoled their children and asked them to lie down on the floor as the Hamas men kept firing from their house.
Where and when?
As per Israel-based journalist Hananya Naftali who also shared the video on X, the video was recorded at the Israeli family¡¯s house after Hamas militants took control of it on Saturday. ¡°Israeli family is held hostage by Hamas terrorists who took control of their house inside Israel. Just look at their faces. This is a crime against humanity. I demand world leaders to take action,¡± the journalist wrote in his post.
