Palestinian militant group Hamas on Saturday released a video showing Israeli hostage Evyatar David digging what he described as his own grave in Gaza.
In the video, David appears extremely thin and is seen digging a hole. Speaking in Hebrew, he says, "What I'm doing now is digging my own grave. Every day my body becomes weaker and weaker. I'm walking directly to my grave. There is the grave where I am going to be buried in. Time is running out to be released and be able to sleep in my bed with my family." David breaks down at the end of the statement.
David, 24, was kidnapped on October 7, 2023, during the Hamas attack on the Nova music festival in southern Israel.
His family released a statement, saying he had become a "living skeleton, buried alive" in Hamas tunnels, the New York Times reported. "The deliberate starvation of our son as part of a propaganda campaign is one of the most horrifying acts the world has seen. He is being starved purely to serve Hamas's propaganda," the statement said.
The October 7 attack by Hamas led to the deaths of 1,219 people, most of them civilians, based on official Israeli figures.
Since then, Israel’s military campaign in Gaza has killed at least 60,332 people, mostly civilians, according to the health ministry in Gaza. The United Nations has considered these figures reliable.
Israel continues to limit the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, which has been under blockade for 15 years before the current conflict.

How psychopathic is Hamas?
