On Wednesday, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an Israeli-American hostage who was captured on October 7^th, is seen in a recent video that was released by Hamas. This is first evidence of its kind proving that he is allegedly still alive.

At least 1,200 people were killed and over 200 were taken captive during Hamas’ onslaught on Israel. Goldberg-Polin, 23 years old at the time, was abducted from the Nova Music Festival.

In the released footage, the hostage is seen missing his left arm.

According to a young woman who has now been released and gave statements to the press, she was in a bunker with him during the Hamas onslaught, and he assisted in hurling grenades prior to having his arm blown off from the elbow down.

In the most recent video, Goldberg-Polin speaks to the camera while seated in a chair. He identifies himself, stating his date of birth and parents’ names while sporadically making gestures with his wounded arm.

In his statement, he explains that he has been there “for almost 200 days.”

In the video, Goldberg-Polin’s hair is cut short, and there are multiple wounds showing on his body.

Like other Israeli hostages in Hamas propaganda movies, it appears that the terrorists forced Goldberg-Polin to condemn Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on film.

In the video, Goldberg-Polin later speaks about Israeli government ministers having holiday dinners with their families, ostensibly alluding to the Jewish holiday of Passover, which started on Monday night and is customarily marked by a family meal.

Goldberg-Polin concludes the video by stating that he hopes he was able to provide the public with some consolation, and he urges his own family to stand strong for him.

Two days before Hamas released the video, the Biden administration obtained it after being in communication with the terrorists. Goldberg-Polin’s family has also been informed of the video.

The Goldberg-Polin family called for the quick release of their son and the other hostages who were still being held in Gaza after the video was made public.

“Seeing the video of Hersh today is overwhelming. We are relieved to see him alive, but we are also concerned about his health and wellbeing, as well as that of all the other hostages and all of those suffering in this region,” his parents, Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin, said in a video statement.

The FBI’s Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell is now actively reviewing the footage in an effort to find any new information or possible clues about Goldberg-Polin’s specific location.

“Bring Hersh Home” can be seen on banners and murals throughout Jerusalem, and his parents Rachel and Jonathan, frequently meet with senior U.S. officials in Washington in order to advocate for the captives.

Parents of Israeli-American hostage speak out hours after Hamas released propaganda video of their son, after 201 days in captivity.

A nine-month-old baby who was stabbed during a knife attack at a mall in Sydney, Australia, has been safely released by the hospital.

“The girl underwent surgery at Sydney Children’s Hospital after suffering chest and arm injuries,” the BBC reported.

The 9 month old baby who was stabbed during the Sydney mall attack has finally been released from the hospital’s ICU.

The little girl, Harriet, is now in a ‘serious but stable’ condition after being stabbed by knifeman Joel Cauchi.

On Sunday, NSW Health Minister Ryan Park posted a statement regarding the child’s release just hours before a candlelight vigil for victims of the knife attack was held.

“In a positive development, I can confirm the child who has been receiving care at Sydney Children’s Hospital following last weekend’s tragic events at Bondi Junction has been discharged home,” he said in a statement. “She continues to receive care from the expert clinicians at Sydney Children’s Hospital.”

The baby’s mother, Ashley Good, 38, was also stabbed by Joel Cauchi, 40, during the attack. After realizing what had happened to her and going into shock, she quickly tossed her baby to a nearby bystander before she bled to death.

“[Joel] wanted a girlfriend and he has no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain,” said Andrew Cauchi, the father of the assailant.

During the attack, six people were killed.

The victims of the attack were Dawn Singleton, 25, the daughter of millionaire businessman John Singleton, mother-of-two Jade Young, 47, Pikria Darchia, 55, Chinese national Yixuan Cheng, 27, and security guard Faraz Tahir, 30.

Tahir lost his life trying to protect nearby shoppers, while his colleague, Muhammad Taha, was stabbed in the stomach. Taha is now recovering in hospital, with the government offering the Pakistani citizen permanent residency in Australia for his heroic efforts.

According to a NSW Health spokesperson, six patients are still receiving care in the hospital for their injuries. Two of the victims are currently at St. Vincent’s Hospital in stable condition, while two other patients are at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. Meanwhile, one female victim remains in intensive care in a serious but stable condition.

“Another female patient is at Royal North Shore Hospital in stable condition on a ward,” the Sydney authorities reported.

Cauchi, the crazed assailant, was shot dead by Inspector Amy Scott who charged at the knifeman without any backup.

An abducted woman was found naked and afraid inside a U-Haul truck by police during a traffic stop, the traumatized woman was freed on Friday night in Maryland, according to authorities.

Early that morning, the victim was reportedly approached by the suspect, Dennis Bell, 62, at a convenience store on Minnesota Avenue Southeast in Washington, D.C., according to Maryland State Police.

“The victim told police that Bell pushed her into the U-Haul truck and threatened her life if she did not comply with his demands,” police said in a press release.

According to the police, Bell allegedly made the victim sit on the floorboard in the front seat while he drove around “all day.”

“The victim reported that while in Bell’s truck, he removed her clothing and used a pocketknife to stab her fingers,” the release said. “The victim informed police that she did not know where she was throughout the day while Bell continued to drive.”

Police reported that shortly before 10 p.m. local time, troopers got numerous calls of a U-Haul truck driving erratically and hitting numerous parked cars in Lanham, an unincorporated community in Maryland.

Authorities claim that despite their attempts to stop the vehicle, the driver refused to stop. After slamming into a ditch, the car finally came to a stop.

Bell was once more asked to vacate the truck by two troopers who arrived from the passenger side, but he continued to ignore them, according to the press release. The victim was sitting on the floorboard of the front seat when the troopers entered the truck through the passenger window. She was unclothed and had fresh wounds on her fingers.

The victim, whose identity has not yet been made public, was immediately taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Bell is accused of nearly two dozen moving violations as well as a number of crimes, such as first-degree assault, kidnapping, false imprisonment, fourth-degree sex offense, possession of suspected crack cocaine, and driving under the influence.

The disturbed man is now being detained in the Department of Corrections in Upper Marlboro.
