Islamic Jihad Releases Video Of Russian-Israeli Hostage

(JNS) Palestinian Islamic Jihad released a proof-of-life video on Wednesday, Nov. 13 of Russian-Israeli hostage Alexander (“Sasha”) Troufanov, who was abducted from his family home during the Hamas terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and has been held captive in the Gaza Strip for 404 days.

In the undated video, the third of Troufanov that the terrorist organization has published, he says his age is 28, although he turned 29 on Monday.

In the video, Troufanov says that he and the other remaining captives are running out of food and basic hygiene products. He pleads for the Israeli public to continue to push for a hostage deal and expresses fear of being accidentally killed by the IDF.

His family authorized the publication of the most recent video, with his mother expressing concern at his words.

“I am relieved to see my son alive, but I am very worried to hear what he is saying,” Yelena Trufanov said.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said this “highlights the urgency of returning the 101 hostages—and now, with winter approaching, these hostages, who have been subjected to horrific conditions of abuse, starvation and darkness for over a year, face an increasing risk of losing their lives.”
