The families of five Israeli female hostages have released photographs taken during their first days of captivity in Gaza since October 7 to draw attention to their plight.
The photos of Lili Albagh, Karina Aliyev, Agam Berger, Daniella Gilboa and Naama Levy were taken by Hamas terrorists shortly after the hostages were taken to Gaza and were recovered by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) among materials seized from a Hamas compound in Gaza.
Naama Levi, whose eye is bruised and blackened in recovered images, is the Israeli woman seen in the infamous video being dragged from the back of a jeep in blood-stained sweatpants as Palestinian men cheer and scream.Allahu Akbar!“She is a peace activist. Pleaded She told her captors: “I have friends in Palestine.”
The women are among 120 hostages remaining in Gaza, about half of whom are believed to be alive (though it is possible there are more). The Israeli government has been indirectly negotiating with Hamas through Egyptian and Qatari intermediaries to reach a deal that would promise a temporary ceasefire and the release of convicted Palestinian terrorists in exchange for the surrender of at least some of the hostages, particularly the women in the first phase.
In May, families of the female hostages, all of them IDF soldiers, released a three-minute video showing the women’s abduction from a military base in southern Israel that terrorists had briefly invaded and seized on October 7. The terrorists had killed many of the other female soldiers in cold blood, and in the video one of the terrorists can be heard mentioning his intention to force the captives into sexual relations and marriage.
