The Qassam Brigades has released a one-minute video on its Telegram account, titled Don’t Let Us Grow Old Here, featuring three elderly Israeli captives pleading for their release. The men were taken to Gaza during Hamas attacks in October, and nearly half of the captives were released as part of a truce between Israel and Hamas. In the video, the captives plead for release and express their harsh conditions. Israeli media reports on the captives’ background and the Israeli military’s response to the video. The video has prompted protests and added pressure on the Israeli government. The release of the video comes amid growing outrage in Israel after the death of three captives in Gaza and intensified Israeli military actions in the area. The situation in Gaza has been further exacerbated due to the lack of aid and allegations of Israel using starvation as a weapon of war.
