JERUSALEM, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned as “cruel psychological propaganda” a video released on Monday by Hamas that shows three hostages seized by the Islamist movement on Oct. 7.
The video shows three woman - identified by Netanyahu as Yelena Trupanob, Danielle Aloni and Rimon Kirsht - sitting side by side against a bare wall, with Aloni addressing an angry message to the prime minister.
In a statement, Netanyahu repeated a pledge to make every effort to bring the hostages home.
Avital Kirscht, whose daughter Rimon sat quietly in the video beside Aloni, said they will do everything to bring her home and demanded the hostages receive urgent medical care.
The short video is the second hostage message issued by Hamas, following an earlier clip of 21-year-old Franco-Israeli woman Mia Schem that was released on Oct. 17.
The presence of the hostages in Gaza has complicated the ground operation in the enclave begun by Israeli forces last week, following an intense campaign of air strikes that Palestinian authorities say has killed more than 8,000 people.
