Dear A.,

Three months after the October 7 massacre, the parents of four kidnapped girls are sharing haunting images of their daughters' capture and urging the world to help bring them home.

The families released screenshots from a video taken by the terrorists on October 7, showing Liri (18), Karina (19), Daniela (19), and Agam (19) lined up against a concrete wall with their hands bound and their faces bloodied.

Today was their 93rd day in captivity.

"Imagine if it was your daughter, your little girl in their hands," said Daniela's mother Orly. "What would you imagine?"

"This is killing us," said Liri’s father. "Every minute is like an hour."

Chen Goldstein-Almog, who was released in the hostage deal in November, saw some of the girls while in captivity and said they endured "sexual abuse under gunpoint on a regular basis."

"A chain of terror factories…under the homes of civilians."

Today Israeli troops uncovered the largest Hamas weapons production site discovered since the war began. The facility – built along and beneath the main highway from northern to southern Gaza – was used to produce long-range rockets, explosives, mortars, and other weapons, and included around a dozen tunnel shafts with some traversing 100 feet deep.

The footage below was taken inside the captured facility.
 

IDF operation enters new phase

IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said today that the military has begun a less intensive phase of its operation in Gaza, as it shifts its focus to the southern part of the Strip and densely populated areas where the remaining senior leadership of Hamas is believed to be hiding.

This comes after the IDF announced over the weekend that it has dismantled Hamas' military capabilities in northern Gaza.

"While there are still terrorists and weapons in the north, they are no longer functioning within an organized military framework," Hagari said today. "We are now operating differently in that area, with a different mix of forces…This is still a complex operational activity, with hard battles being fought both in the center and the south."

The IDF reiterated its commitment to operate against Hamas leaders. Today Israel eliminated a key figure responsible for Hamas’ rocket launchers in Syria.
