Five Israeli Female Soldiers Captured by Hamas: Families Release Graphic Footage of Abduction

Hostage Crisis: Five Female Israeli Soldiers Captured by Hamas in Gaza

On October 7, 2024, five female Israeli soldiers were taken captive by Hamas during a violent assault on the Nahal Oz military base in southern Israel. The incident sparked outrage and calls for action from both the Israeli government and public.

The latest development in this ongoing crisis comes as families of the hostages have released graphic footage of their abduction, hoping to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into securing their release through renewed cease-fire talks with Hamas.

According to various sources, including CNN and Bloomberg News, the video shows the women being bound and some of them having bruised and bloodied faces. The footage was previously edited by the IDF but was obtained by the Hostages Families Forum in its unedited form.

The soldiers were working as observers at the time of their capture, monitoring Israel's border security. They were identified as Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa, and Naama Levy.

The families of these brave women have been campaigning tirelessly for their safe return. Eli Albag, whose daughter Liri is among the hostages, has urged the public to share the video and demand action from Netanyahu.

Israel's war cabinet has now ordered negotiators to resume talks with Hamas in an attempt to secure the release of these captives. However, hopes for a swift resolution remain uncertain as tensions between Israel and Gaza continue to escalate.

This is a developing story and more information will be provided as it becomes available.

Families of Israeli captives show video of female soldiers taken by Hamas

Al Jazeera Media Network Al Jazeera Thursday, 23 May 2024 21:17
  • Unique Points
    • Five female Israeli soldiers were captured by Hamas in Gaza on October 7, 2022.
    • Two women among the captives were seen with visible bloodstains on their faces in the footage.
    • Armed fighters are seen binding the women in the video.
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position of trying to pressure the Israeli government for a ceasefire deal with Hamas. The article also uses emotional manipulation by describing the injuries on the soldiers as 'minor' and 'to be expected in such situations', but then later states that two women had visible bloodstains on their faces. This creates a conflicting message and attempts to downplay the severity of the situation while still implying danger.
    • Many have also called on Israel to agree to a ceasefire to bring their relatives home safely.
    • The Israeli government must not waste another moment.
    • The footage was from the attack on the Nahal Oz military base, part of the Hamas-led assault on southern Israel that killed 1,139 people and took some 250 others captives.
  • Fallacies (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Bias (80%)
    Al Jazeera uses language that depicts Hamas as manipulating the footage and distorting the image of the resistance. They also describe Hamas' injuries to the soldiers as minor and expected in such situations, which could be seen as downplaying their significance.
    • Hamas said the video was ‘a manipulated excerpt’ that ‘cannot be verified’ and that its release at this time is ‘part of the occupation’s efforts to distort the image of the resistance’.
      • The injuries on the soldiers, Hamas said, were minor and 'to be expected in such situations'.
