JERUSALEM: Jon Polin says he has watched the video of his seriously wounded son being hustled into the back of a truck by Hamas gunmen countless times.

The scene played out just hours after 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg-Polin had spent time with his family on the last day of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot then spent the night dancing at a music festival with friends.The youngster is just one of more than 200 people kidnapped by Hamas gunmen during their killing spree across southern Israel that began on October 7 and has left more than 1,400 dead.

'This is an injury that we might say is... life threatening.'Goldberg-Polin's family pointed to the case of Yahya Sinwar, a Hamas leader who received medical treatment for a brain tumour while jailed by Israel in 2008.'We're asking that it be reciprocated,' said Polin.The family's plea came just days after Hamas freed two Americans — Judith Tai Raanan and her daughter Natalie Shoshana Raanan — on Friday, following mediation efforts by Qatar.
