The IDF on Thursday released the full, previously unseen footage of six Israeli hostages lighting Chanukah candles deep inside a Hamas tunnel weeks before they were murdered.
The video, recovered from materials seized during IDF operations in Gaza, marks the first time the public is witnessing a direct, unfiltered glimpse into the hostages’ lives in captivity.
The footage shows Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Ori Danino, Alex Lubanov, Almog Sarusi, and Carmel Gat standing together in the suffocating darkness of an underground tunnel. Surrounded by their captors, deprived of light, freedom, and basic human dignity, the six are seen lighting a makeshift menorah and singing Chanukah songs.
According to information released ahead of the official publication, the hostages were filmed for hours, their captors inexplicably documenting the scene. Whether the recordings were meant for psychological warfare or internal Hamas propaganda remains unknown.

And to the dustbin of history go every chareidi narrative about “secular chiloni” Israelis.
These Jews are what real Jews look like.
It is high time to rethink and question the poisen that has flowed into our veins from the “frumest” amongst us concerning every preconcieved notion about our fellow Jews who look different.
This is both so painful and so infuriating. Show no ‘rachmonus’ to the Gaza barbarians who brought destruction upon their own people (sic). Every shattered building, every ruin is totally theirs. Let them face tcinsequences of their savagery, with zero sympathy and zero excuses.
Amiti: Reform and Conservative Jews do the same Chanukah lighting and singing.
That is Teshuvah in the video.Unfortunately,as the neviim taught us
occasionally teshuvah can be too late.You, as well as the rest of us, ought to take sure heed
Some were unabashedly violating the 3 cardinal sins while partying about in public just few months prior
The old fraud with pseudo subversive moniker c.a. is at it again
