Shocking video shows 86-year-old Israeli hostage ‘being abducted by Hamas on the back of a motorbike’ before his death weeks later

This is the shocking moment an 86-year-old Israeli hostage was apparently abducted by Hamas from the backseat of a motorcycle, only to die weeks later.

Aryeh Zalmanovich, of Kibbutz Nir Oz, was taken hostage on October 7 when Hamas invaded Israel, killing more than 1,000 civilians.

In November he is said to have died while in captivity. It is claimed that he was executed after his health deteriorated severely due to a lack of medicine.

Shocking footage shows the grandfather of five being abducted on the back of a motorbike, flanked by his kidnappers sitting behind and in front of him.

The video shows the group walking through the streets, while Mr Zalmanovich is visibly injured, with blood stains on his clothes and a large head wound.

A tractor with an Israeli license plate leads the crowd, while people stand on top of the large vehicle and wave.

The video was first shown during the Weekend News Edition on N12, which shed light on the kidnapping of the old man.

The father of two is said to have been hiding in a secure room on his kibbutz when he was discovered by his attackers, before being taken away without his glasses or hearing aids.

Hamas reportedly published a video in mid-November showing Zalmanovich in critical condition.

The footage allegedly showed the grandfather lying on a bed attached to a monitor, while indicating that he was not feeling well.

Later images show him motionless and wrapped in a white sheet.

Kibbutz Nir Oz later announced in December that Zalmanovich had died in captivity.

The attack comes after Palestinian health authorities reported earlier this month that an Israeli airstrike had hit a school in Gaza City that had been converted into a shelter, killing more than 100 people.

According to the Ministry of Health’s Ambulance and Emergency Service, 47 people were also injured in the attack on the Tabeen school in central Gaza City.

The Israeli military acknowledged the attack and claimed it hit a Hamas command center inside the school. It provided no evidence.
