Josh Einiger has more on the chilling video.
Hersh’s parents released the video and spoke to ABC News about why they want the world to see it. His parents also released video of their son released by Hamas in April, showing him in captivity with part of his left arm missing.
A firsthand account from a young woman who was in a bunker with him when Hamas attacked, said he had helped to throw grenades out of the bomb shelter before his arm was blown off from the elbow down.
A group that represents hostages’ families released the video, saying they hope it will help lead to a cease-fire deal to free those being held captive.
