A film clip showing how Hamas kidnapped three Israelis last year was released on Monday in Israel, according to Israeli media.

The video shows how Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Or Levy and Eliya Cohen were kidnapped from the Nova music festival in Re'im, near the border with Gaza, on 7 October. The approximately two-minute-long film was filmed with the attackers' body cameras and is said to have been edited and censored according to the families' wishes, reports Haaretz.

The video is being released in the hope of putting further pressure on the Israeli government to secure a deal that will make the terrorist-listed Hamas release the hostages.

"Hersh, Eliya and Or were alive when they were kidnapped and so they should return today," says the group behind the publication in a statement.

The group Hostages and missing families forum – a large organisation for relatives of hostages – writes further that the film clip is "a strong indictment of how (the hostages) have been abandoned for 262 days".

The group is demanding, in increasingly loud daily demonstrations in Tel Aviv, that an agreement to bring their loved ones home be concluded at any cost – regardless of what it means for the war effort.

The video clip is the third to be released from the same incident. The two previously released clips show, among other things, how Hamas members threw grenades at unarmed Israeli festival-goers.

The Islamist extremist group Hamas attacked Israel on the morning of Saturday, 7 October last year. Around 1,150 people are estimated to have fallen victim to the terrorist attack, most of them civilians, and more than 200 people were taken hostage.

More than 100 people are still being held hostage in Gaza, according to Israel, since around the same number were released in exchanges and several others were rescued. Many of those still being held are feared to no longer be alive.
