Boaz Zalmanovich, son of Arie Zalmanovich who was murdered in captivity, revealed in his speech at the hostages rally in Tel Aviv that about two weeks ago he watched a video filmed by one of the terrorists showing his father. "The bandage on his head covers the wound that opened from the blow he received, the blood that dripped on his beard, his frightened eyes looking in terror, and his frail hands trying to hold onto the back of the villain sitting in front of him, as if he has no other savior," he described. "The monster of abandonment is consuming the bodies and souls of the young people in the tunnels, clinging with their remaining strength to hope. It is crumbling what remains of our loved ones who were murdered and thrown into the cursed soil of Gaza."
