The brother of an Israeli soldier taken hostage on 7 October – whose frightening capture was recorded for a video released this week – said the last seven months have been “a nightmare for my family”.<\/p>\n

Amit Levy, the brother of 19-year-old Naama, told Sky’s The World With Yalda Hakim that the dialogue in the video “makes [his] stomach hurt”.<\/p>\n

Ms Levy was one of five female soldiers who were taken by Hamas from their base on the morning of 7 October.<\/p>\n

The women worked at the Nahal Oz observation base, monitoring activity on the Gaza<\/a> <\/strong>border.<\/p>\n

At the start of the video, some appear bloodied and injured with all five having their hands tied behind their backs.<\/p>\n

In a later part of the video, the female soldiers are hurried out of the building – one is limping and another is carried out.<\/p>\n

Their families released the video, which has been edited in places, on Thursday to put pressure on the Israeli government.<\/p>\n

Mr Levy said: “Many of the [hostages] can still be saved. That’s why we released this video because the world may have forgotten a little bit.”<\/p>\n

He said their parents did not watch the video for several weeks “because it was too hard”.<\/p>\n

The family has also not received any proof of life since November when released hostages said Ms Levy was in a condition “which wasn’t the best”.<\/p>\n

Her brother said: “We are trying to stay optimistic, I believe with all of my heart that she’s still alive, that she can still be saved. We’re optimistic about her being alive.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
