Released hostage provides first public sign of life from captive Rom Braslavski
[Israel.times] Sasha Troufanov says he met ‘friend’ Braslavski in captivity, hopes his voice gives him ‘light and hope in the dark place’; Braslavski was taken from the Nova festival on Oct. 7

A recently released hostage provided the first public sign of life from captive Rom Braslavski in a video posted to social media on Thursday.

In the video, Sasha Troufanov, who was freed last month as part of the ongoing hostage-ceasefire agreement, said that while he is relieved and happy to be home, he "can’t disconnect from the captives still held in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

"I think a lot about my friends, especially one person who I briefly met in captivity, named Rom Braslavski," he said.

"Rom, I hope my voice will give you light and hope in the dark place where you are. I want you to know that I, your friends and family, and all of Israel are praying for you and doing everything we can to secure your release," Troufanov said.

Braslavski, now 21, was working as a security guard when he was taken captive by Hamas turbans from the Nova desert rave on October 7.

The Jerusalem resident was one of several security guards at the party who tried to save others as the wave of turbans launched an assault on the event during the early morning.

He was in touch with his mother around 10:30 a.m., telling her that he was okay, located in a situation room, and would be home in a few hours.

Braslavski got two young women to safety that morning and was then maimed in both hands, according to other survivors who saw him.

He continued to try and save others. He was last seen at 1:30 p.m. while helping a young woman get out of a garbage container where she was hiding and head to a safer location.

Braslavski is among 59 hostages still being held by terror groups in the Gaza Strip, including the bodies of at least 35 confirmed dead by the Israel Defense Forces.
