‘Few days left to live’: Hamas releases chilling video of ‘living skeleton’ hostage Evyatar David
Hamas forced emaciated Israeli hostage Evyatar David to dig his own grave in a sick new propaganda video, as the twisted terror group continued to stall negotiations to release the remaining living captives. In the nearly five-minute minute video released on Friday, Mr David is seen in a tunnel with a ceiling roughly as high as he is tall, crossing off dates on a calendar and digging a grave.
“I haven’t eaten for a few days in a row,” Mr David says in the footage.
In the middle of the video, the person behind the camera hands him a can of beans.
“This can is for two days,” Mr David says. “This whole can is for two days so that I don’t die. “This is the grave I think I’m going to be buried in. Time is running out.”
The David family, which allowed the release of the video, said in a statement sent to the Hostages Families Forum Headquarters, “We are forced to witness our beloved son and brother, Evyatar David, deliberately and cynically starved in Hamas’s tunnels in Gaza — a living skeleton, buried alive.
“The deliberate starvation of our son as part of a propaganda campaign is one of the most horrifying acts the world has seen.”
The appalling video sparked outrage in Israel and across the globe.
