News Topical, Digital Desk : Hamas has released a video of a 24-year-old Israeli hostage Eviatar David. David is seen digging his own grave in a narrow tunnel.
The gruesome scene is part of a recent series of videos released by Hamas showing Israeli hostages, weakened and pale from hunger.
Eviatar and 21-year-old Rom Braslavsky, both weak and ill, are seen in the video pleading for their release and warning that their death is very close. Both have accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of leaving them to die.
Following this, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday (August 3, 2025) requested help from the International Committee of the Red Cross to assist hostages in Gaza.
'My son is devastated'
Hamas released these videos after ceasefire talks with Israel ended last week. These videos have sparked anger and shock in Israel.
Eviatar's photos were published on the front page of every newspaper and people were demanding the government to reach an agreement with Hamas for the release of the hostages.
Rome Braslavsky's father, Ofir Braslavsky, urged Netanyahu to end the war and return the hostages at an event in Tel Aviv on Saturday night.
He said, "Two days ago I saw my son, but I could not recognize him. My son is starving for bread, thirsty for water, sick, physically broken and his heart and mind are not working." He told Netanyahu, "Enough is enough now."
The horrifying scene of 7 October
On October 7, 2023, Hamas fighters kidnapped Eviatar David and Rom Braslavsky from the Nova Music Festival. Hundreds of people were killed after this. The Israeli government believes that about 20 male hostages are still alive, while the bodies of 30 are with Hamas.
Who is Eviatar David?
Eviatar David is a 24-year-old Israeli youth taken hostage during a Hamas attack on the Nova Music Festival on October 7, 2023. He has been imprisoned in Gaza ever since.
