Hamas has released a second proof-of-life video of Israeli hostage Elkana Bohbot. The footage, published with the family's consent, comes just days after the terrorist organization released its first video of Bohbot on Monday, in which hostage Yosef-Haim Ohana also appeared.
Video: The footage, published with the family's consent
In the latest clip, Bohbot addresses the camera: "This is not a psychological warfare video. The only one experiencing psychological warfare is me, waking up every morning without my wife and son. It's tearing me apart. It's messing with my head. I want to get out of here. I miss my wife, my son, everyone. Get me out of here."
In the previous video released by Hamas, Bohbot said: "I'm prisoner number 22. Until yesterday, I had a name, I had an identity, I had hope. Today, I'm just another number.
"Enough. Enough with this government silencing us. It's enough. Let the prisoners speak. Stop gagging them. Let them speak, let the truth come out. Everyone who gets out of here should be allowed to speak up. Why is everyone keeping quiet? Why? Open your mouths, speak out. Ohad [former hostage Ohad Ben Ami], speak out. You were here with us. You sat with me and him. Speak on our behalf, explain to everyone what we're going through, let them all know.
"You know how much we suffer here all the time. You know what it's like during wartime and during a deal. You got out, back to your wife and daughters," Bohbot said. "You said I'd be out a few weeks after you, that I'd be back with my wife and son. But I'm still here. Explain it to them, tell them how hard it is for me. Every day here is hard, without my son and without my wife. Tell them how much I'm suffering. I know it's different for everyone."
The two men end the clip together, saying: "Tell them, Ohad."
