For the first time since the October 7 massacre, footage has been released showing the abduction of Rimon Kirsht and Yagev Buchshtab from their home in Kibbutz Nirim. The video, published today (Monday), shows the couple being forcibly led away by Hamas terrorists from their home in Kibbutz Nirim to the Gaza Strip. Throughout the ordeal, the two can be seen refusing to let go of each other's hands, even as they are being abducted. Rimon was released as part of the first hostage deal in November 2023 after spending 53 days in captivity. Yagev remained in Hamas captivity and was later murdered in Khan Younis. His body was recovered by IDF forces in August 2024.
