Josh we just got new footage from the October 7th
attack and the Hostages Families Forum released the video and
they edited it to take out the most disturbing scenes.
You see it here on your screen.
We do want to warn our viewers this this still
is graphic even though it was edited.
Walk us through, Josh, what is new that we learn
from this particular disturbing video?
Yeah, really upsetting video that as you mentioned is from
October 7th,
just being released now by the hostage families,
they say because they want to increase pressure on the
Israeli government.
To bring their family members home,
they're really trying to show what the stakes are here.
And the stakes, as evident in the video,
are the way that these women were treated on October
7th.
We see them handcuffed, bloodied,
clearly severely beaten, as these Hamas terrorists are threatening them,
screaming at them, telling them that they may kill them.
We see these women pleading essentially for their lives,
saying that they know people in in Palestine,
trying to really show that they should be sympathetic figures
for these people who've taken them hostage,
and in one case. One of the Hamas operatives tells
them our brothers died because of you.
We will kill you, Morgan.
