JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Former Hamas hostage Rom Braslavski, who was released in the October deal after 730 days in captivity, published a special video in Arabic in which he sent a direct message to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations.

Braslavski directly addressed the enemy in their language, declaring: “Hamas and Islamic Jihad, you thought you could break our spirits and destroy our souls, but we are here, alive, having fun, and happy.”

He added: “Not one of you terrorists could break the spirit of the Israeli people who are alive and well, Am Israel Chai.”
