Hamas publishes chilling footage of an Israeli captive digging his own grave, stating, "With each passing day, my body grows more feeble..."
In a heart-wrenching development, a video of Israeli hostage Evyatar David has been released by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The video, shared on August 2, 2025, shows David in a graveyard, using a shovel to dig a grave. His emaciated appearance and the grave's proximity suggest that he fears this may be his final resting place.
David, who was kidnapped by Hamas during attacks in Southern Israel in October 2023, could barely speak in the video. He said, "What I'm doing now is digging my own grave. Every day, my body becomes weaker and weaker. I'm walking directly to my grave."
His family, in an emotional appeal made on August 2, 2025, urged the Israeli government and the global community to take immediate action to save him. Medical experts warn that without urgent medical care, David's life is at serious risk within days.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his shock over the materials distributed by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He posted a series of 'X' posts, saying his government is doing everything possible to bring all hostages back. In a conversation with David's family on August 2, 2025, Netanyahu also accused Hamas of starving the citizens of the Gaza Strip and preventing them from receiving aid.
The video underscores the gravity of the situation faced by the Israeli hostages and the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The news has sparked international concern and calls for the immediate release of all Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas.
As of early August 2025, David remains held by Hamas in Gaza, and approximately 20 other hostages are still being held. An envoy from the Trump administration has promised an “all or nothing” deal to secure the release of hostages, highlighting ongoing but complex negotiation efforts.
This chilling video is a stark reminder of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and the human cost it exacts. The situation remains highly sensitive and unresolved as of August 2025.
