Israeli Prisoners Call for Help Amid Dire Conditions
In a poignant recording released by the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, two Israeli prisoners have shared their harrowing experiences following their capture during the ongoing conflict. Lubnov Alexander, from Ashkelon, and Carmel Gat, from Be'eri, both expressed their fears and frustrations regarding the dire conditions they are facing, including a lack of basic necessities like water, food, and medical supplies.
Alexander, who was captured on October 7th, pleaded with the Israeli government, particularly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to take action for their release. He highlighted the neglect they have endured and urged the public to demonstrate for their freedom, stating, “You are just trying to kill us so that you don't make a deal.” His emotional appeal also included a heartfelt message to his family, emphasizing the need for unity and strength during this challenging time.
Gat echoed similar sentiments, revealing that she was captured from her father’s house on the same day. She lamented the lack of communication regarding other prisoners and the constant threat posed by Israeli bombardments. Both prisoners have called upon the Israeli public to continue advocating for their release, emphasizing that the government must prioritize their safety and well-being over political agendas.

- The recordings shed light on the broader implications of the conflict, including the psychological toll on families left behind. Alexander's plea for assistance not only highlights the immediate dangers faced by the prisoners but also underscores the emotional strain on their loved ones.
