The Ahel family responded to the proof of life video of their son Alon, stating that "we were shocked to see Alon's condition. After consulting with eye specialists in Israel and worldwide, it is clear that Alon cannot see with his right eye." According to the family, "the frequent blinking of his eyes indicates severe difficulty focusing and seeing for extended periods. No international law permits holding an injured civilian captive without proper medical care. The responsibility for Alon's well-being falls on his captors and the Hamas leadership, who are obligated to preserve his life and health according to international law. It's important to remember that Alon is not only an Israeli citizen but also a Serbian and German citizen. The nations of the world will not ignore the situation if Alon's medical condition deteriorates."
