Hamas has shared a video of Ori Danino, one of six hostages found dead in a tunnel in Rafah on Saturday, August 31. In the video, Danino describes dire living conditions: “There is no food, no water, no electricity,” and he mentions the constant gunfire and bombings.
Danino criticizes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the war cabinet, accusing them of failing to protect hostages since the October 7 attacks. He questions their absence during his ordeal and implores them to intensify efforts to secure the hostages’ release. “Where were you when they shot me?” he asks, expressing frustration over the government’s perceived inadequacy.

He also appeals to the Israeli public, urging them to continue efforts for hostage rescue, emphasizing the urgency by saying, “Get us out of here alive because at this pace no one will survive.” The video concludes with Danino expressing his love for his family and a poignant message: “People of Israel: Do not neglect us.” A final clip shows a sand timer with the phrases “time is running out,” “Exchange deal… freedom and life,” and “Military pressure… death and failure,” underscoring the dire situation.
The other hostages who were killed have been identified as Eden Yerushalmi, Alex Lobanov, Carmel Gat, Almog Sarusi, and Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
