Palestinian Islamic Jihad announced Wednesday it would release the first video showing proof of life of Rom Braslavski, a 21-year-old Israeli hostage abducted during the October 7 attack.
The terrorist group released a brief excerpt from the video, marking the first visual confirmation that Braslavski is alive.
At the request of the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, the full video or any portion of it will be published only with the family's approval.
Braslavski, a Jerusalem resident, was working security at the Nova music festival in southern Israel when he was kidnapped. His family has received numerous reports of his bravery that day, describing how he helped others escape the attackers.
