'Islamic Jihad' published a new video with the alleged hostage Trufanov taken within the month

[Regnum] The Saraya al-Quds group (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) published a second video with Russian Alexander Trufanov allegedly being held hostage. The video was posted on the movement’s Telegram channel.

In the video, the man stated his first and last name, and also talked about his state of health.

“The first thing I want to say is that my condition is fine and I am healthy,” he said.

The Saraya al-Quds group is the military wing of Islamic Jihad (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation)

As Regnum reported, a day earlier the group published the first video of a supposedly captured Russian. In these footage, a young man speaks Hebrew and promises to soon show the whole world the truth about the fate of the hostages.

Representatives of the Israeli Embassy in Russia commented on the information about the kidnapped person and his relatives. The diplomatic mission reported that terrorists kidnapped Trufanov along with his grandmother, mother and fiancee, who were returned to Israel as part of the first deal to free the hostages. The Russian's father was killed by terrorists.

Hamas militants attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023. According to Israeli authorities, 1.2 thousand people were killed as a result, and another 253 Israelis were taken hostage. Some of them - more than a hundred people - were released as part of a week-long truce last fall.

On November 30, Israeli Sapir Cohen, the fiancee of Alexander Trufanov, returned to Israel as part of those released from captivity by the Palestinian Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip. As reported in the office of the Prime Minister of the Jewish State, Trufanov himself remained hostage to the radicals. Cohen was released along with five other Israelis.

Earlier, the Russian Embassy in Israel announced that they managed to rescue Irina Tatti and Elena Trufanova, the grandmother and mother of Alexander Trufanov, who, like him, have Russian citizenship, from Hamas captivity.
The Times of Israel adds:

onslaught.

The Russian-Israeli was kidnapped on October 7 from Kibbutz Nir Oz along with his mother, Yelena, grandmother, Irena Tati, and girlfriend, Sapir Cohen — all of whom were released in a hostage deal in late November.

Sasha and Sapir had recently moved in together in Ramat Gan, and had been visiting their family in Nir Oz over the Simhat Torah holiday.

Sasha’s parents and grandmother had been in their home, which had a safe room, while Sasha and Sapir had been in another house without a safe room. It was later learned that Vitaly had been taken from the house before the rest of the family.

In the propaganda video released on Thursday, Sasha mentions Israeli hostages allegedly killed by Israeli bombardment in Gaza amid the ongoing war, a pressure tactic that has been used repeatedly in clips published by the terror groups. In many of the cases, Israel says hostages were kidnapped after being killed by the murderous Moslems on October 7 or by their terrorist captors in Gaza.
