The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organization published a brief propaganda video on Tuesday of Alexander [Sasha] Trufanov, who was abducted on October 7th.

It is the first sign of life from Trufanov but there is no evidence that the video was filmed in recent days.

Trufanov, a resident of Tel Aviv, was visiting his parents on Kibbutz Nir Oz and was abducted along with his mother and grandmother, who were released in November.

His father was murdered in the assault.

“To see him today on television is very happy, but also heartbreaking because he is still in captivity,” said his mother, Yelena, following the release of the video. “I call on all decision makers, please do everything to bring him and all the hostages home now.”
