Avi Ohana, whose son Yosef-Chaim Ohana is being held hostage in Gaza, told Ynet in response to the video released by Hamas that "Elkana Bohbot's cry is also my son's cry. They are in distress there." Ohana appeared alongside Bohbot in another video released by the terror group last week. According to him: "They had already seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and suddenly the Israeli government resumed fighting. They are in distress there." He added, "The words Yosef-Chaim said in his video are true. No matter how much people here call it psychological warfare — it's real."
