The family of hostage Rom Breslavsky responded to a statement released by Islamic Jihad, which claimed they "lost contact" with the hostage and his captors. "No one knows where Rom is, neither the IDF nor Islamic Jihad know anything," the family said through the Hostages Families Headquarters. "The only thing we knew is that he was held alone." The family demanded a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir: "We want to know where our son is. We want those responsible to sit with us and explain the situation to us."
