Eli David, brother of hostage Evyatar, whose video was just published by Hamas, said the images of his emaciated brother 'broke' their father, comparing it to images from the Holocaust
Family members of the hostages and other protesters calling for the return of the hostages blocked the Ayalon South highway in Tel Aviv during the Sunday morning rush hour, holding up signs saying, among other things, "The abandonment of the hotages = the destruction of the Third Temple," referring to the destruction of the Second Temple marked on the Jewish holiday of Tisha B'Av, a religious day of mourning.
At the protest, which blocked the road for about 20 minutes, Eli David, brother of hostage Evyatar David, who was seen in a video published by Hamas on Saturday, said there is "immediate danger" to his brother's life, and that he will die within days if he does not receive food and medicine.
Eli said in an interview with Israeli public broadcaster Kan that his mother did not watch the video at all, due to the difficulty of seeing her son in such a dire condition, and that his father watched the video with great difficulty.
