The Angrest family has just published the first photo of her son since his kidnapping: a propaganda video from Hamas that still comes from.

Matan Angrest was wounded out of his tank on October 7, 2023. Since then he has been held in captivity in Gaza. Now his parents have published frightening messages about his condition.

“This is the first film material from a video by Matan Angrest, a soldier who was wounded and passed out in a tank at the Nahale Oz outpost”, his family ” said in an explanation.

In the video, the 21-year-old soldier asks the Israeli government to agree to a hostage deal, whereby a speech is most likely dictated by his kidnappers. His parents released the film material on Monday evening.

Angrest was kidnapped by Naunte Oz during the violent fights. Now he is captured in Gaza under “inhuman conditions” and learns severe abuse and surveys under torture, Ynet Report.



“Matan is in a fatal danger”, his mother Anat Angrest said. “All hostages have to be brought home before other soldiers are sent to battle and do not return.”

Although Angrest was seriously wounded, he was excluded from the recent humanitarian release due to his position in the Israeli defense forces (IDF). According to his parents. “He had assumed his team to defend the outpost and the Kibbutzim. Matan was kidnapped in a critical condition and endures unimaginable suffering, torture during the disruptions and in inhuman conditions. Although he was seriously wounded, he was not returned in the humanitarian phase, just because he was an Israeli soldier,” they said.

There were no signs of life to give the family more than six months until recently hope when some of the released prisoners were able to confirm that Angest was still alive.

Hagai Angrest, father of Matan, confirmed that the family had received confirmation of his condition less than a month ago. say“We heard of published hostages that our beloved son Matan lives. It was incredibly emotional for us.”

He urged: “It was time to bring him back with everyone else. We expect Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to drive the second phase of the deal immediately. We all saw the terrible pictures – the scene of a Holocaust in 2025, here in Israel. Bring Matan and the rest of the hostages home now. Your situation is bad and it is time to bring her back. “

“We demand that the Israeli government implement all phases of the hostage contract before it goes into the next phase of war,” emphasized Anat Angrest.

There are still 59 hostages in Gaza, at least 35 of whom were confirmed by the IDF. Angrest was captured together with the corpses of co -soldiers Itai Chen, Daniel Peretz and Tomer Leibovitz, all of which were killed on October 7 during the Hamas massacre.
