The family of Nimrod Cohen, an Israeli soldier kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023, has released previously unseen images of his capture, recently discovered by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The material was presented during a press conference at the Hostages' Families Forum in Tel Aviv and shows how Cohen is violently dragged toward the Gaza Strip.
"What you see is every mother's worst nightmare in Israel. My defenseless son was taken to hell, and I could only hear his heartbreaking screams," his mother, Vicki Cohen, declared through tears. Addressing the Israeli authorities, she added: "I haven't breathed for 689 nights. You have no right to prevent my son from coming home. You must secure a comprehensive agreement."

According to testimonies from released hostages, Cohen was locked up for months in a small animal cage, subjected to torture and interrogations because he was an IDF soldier.
The captors moved him from place to place to evade Israeli pursuit. The same witnesses reported that Cohen suffers from a severe skin disease and an ear infection, resulting from the unsanitary conditions in the Gaza tunnels.
The soldier was kidnapped when his tank was attacked and set on fire by the terrorists. His crew members—commander Omer Neutra, loader Oz Daniel, and driver Shaked Dahan—were killed in that episode, one of the most remembered of the October 7 massacre.
Meanwhile, as international attention focuses on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Israeli organizations and families denounce that the hostages, held for almost two years, have disappeared from the global media agenda.
Cohen's case starkly illustrates the reality of the captives: violently kidnapped, kept in conditions that constitute flagrant violations of international law, and practically ignored in the public debate outside Israel.
For the families, each new testimony is not only evidence of the suffering in captivity, but also a reminder that, as long as Hamas continues to hold them, the war has a human face that the world should not forget.
