Hamas forced emaciated Israeli hostage Evyatar David to dig his own grave in a sick new propaganda video, as the twisted terror group continued to stall negotiations to release the remaining living captives.
In the nearly 5-minute clip released Friday, the 24-year-old David is seen in a tunnel with a ceiling roughly as high as he is tall, crossing off dates on a calendar and digging a grave.
“I haven’t eaten for a few days in a row,” David says in the footage.
In the middle of the video, the person behind the camera hands him a can of beans.
“This can is for two days,” David says. “This whole can is for two days so that I don’t die.
“This is the grave I think I’m going to be buried in. Time is running out.”
The David family, which allowed the release of the video, said in a statement sent to the Hostages Families Forum Headquarters, “We are forced to witness our beloved son and brother, Evyatar David, deliberately and cynically starved in Hamas’s tunnels in Gaza — a living skeleton, buried alive.
“The deliberate starvation of our son as part of a propaganda campaign is one of the most horrifying acts the world has seen.”
The appalling video sparked outrage in Israel and across the globe.
“Hamas terrorists deliberately starve our hostages, documenting them in a cynical, humiliating, and malicious manner,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
