The four teen Israeli soldiers are a few of the more than 130 hostages still believed to be in Gaza
"The bloodied and bruised faces of four young Israeli women, seen in a video only hours after they were taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7, are images their families are sharing in hopes of finally securing their release, some three months after the terror group hauled them into Gaza.
"The four women, Liri Albag, 18; Karina Ariev, 19; Daniela Gilboa, 19; and Agam Berger, 19, are all Israel Defense Forces soldiers who were snatched from the Nahal Oz army base as Hamas invaded southern Israel, as the terrorists killed some 1,200 people and taking more than 200 others captive.
"Each can be seen in a harrowing video that emerged soon after they were abducted, appearing afraid – some with blood-stained faces – as they are pressed against a wall in Gaza with their hands tied behind their backs.
"Photos released by their families showing each of the women before Oct. 7 provide an eerie contrast, underscoring the brutality of Hamas' surprise attack. . . .
"Their calls come as details have emerged in the months since the attack of how some former female hostages were raped and sexually assaulted by their captors." . . .
"Some of the girls were badly wounded and haven't been getting proper medical care. Gunshot wounds, even lost limbs. They said they can cope with the disability but not with the manner they were constantly violated."
What do our campus protestors have to say?
