00:00 It's worth noting no one is airing that video, not in Israel and not around the world.

00:05 The most we are doing is pulling a screenshot there of three of the Israeli soldiers. One

00:13 is the beautiful Noah Agamani, who is really in some sense the poster child of the helpless

00:22 person snatched and cruelly kidnapped by Hamas. Those first videos of her on a motorcycle

00:29 screaming for help. She narrates this third video and says that essentially the two other

00:37 Israeli hostages with her, one unnamed and one named, Yitzhak Zversky, have been killed and

00:43 blaming Israel, the Israeli army, for bombing their hiding place. Now, Daniel Hagari, the

00:51 spokesman for the Israeli army, made it very clear that they did not hit the building where they were

00:57 hiding. He said they didn't know the exact location, but they assumed they were in the area

01:04 and they called the accusation by Hamas a lie. They are going to continue to study this

01:10 video, but they essentially said they told the families that there is grave concern for the

01:17 lives of those two hostages, not officially declaring them dead, but essentially saying that

01:24 it is unlikely, you know, that it's very difficult to see if they are really alive.

01:32 So that of the 132 hostages, we now have 27 that are likely bodies.
