Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, shared a video of her son from Hamas captivity on Sunday evening. The footage, dated January 2024, was recently recovered by the IDF in Gaza.
In the video, Matan appears with a shaved head and addresses his sisters and his partner, who was kidnapped with him and released after 50 days: "Tatu (Natali), Shani, Ilana, I miss you, and with God's help, we'll see each other soon," he says to the camera. "All my relatives, all my friends, go out and make your voices heard the way only you know how," he adds.
Haaretz learned that in recent weeks, several families have received footage of their kidnapped loved ones dating back to the start of the war, following the recovery of significant Hamas materiel.
