Amit Soussana, 40, who was recently freed from captivity in Gaza, struggled against seven Hamas terrorists as she was dragged away from Israel on October 7, according to newly-released surveillance footage.
The footage, which Soussana agreed to allow Israel’s Channel 12 to air, shows Soussana, an attorney, fighting her captors as she is taken from Kfar Aza, one of the worst-hit communities in the October 7 terror attack.
Soussana is seen fighting the terrorists, who try to cover her with a blanket: this was done, as Breitbart News learned in visits with survivors of the October 7 attack, because female hostages were often captured in their pajamas or their underwear, and some Hamas terrorists did not want to offend other Palestinians by dragging a live woman in a state of undress into Gaza.
(They had no such qualms with the nearly-naked corpse of Shani Louk, a German-Israeli, paraded through Gaza on the back of a truck.)
The video was apparently obtained from a security camera on the Palestinian side of the border, in Gaza City, in the northern Gaza Strip, according to the Times of Israel.
As Breitbart News noted, Soussana was freed last week, together with another female hostage, during a seven-day truce.
