Hamas Challenges Trump?: 'Ask Trump to Help me': Terrified Hostage Begs For Help in Chilling Video

Hamas’s armed wing, an Israeli hostage—identified by local media as Elkana Bohbot—pleads for help, directly invoking former U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking from captivity in Gaza, Bohbot begs a friend to take his wife to the White House and ask Trump to secure his release. The video, which shows the hostage in a small room speaking on a landline, is the third such clip of him since March. It highlights the deepening psychological warfare in the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. While the authenticity of the call remains unverified, the footage has ignited shock and concern, as fears for the hostages' safety intensify amid continued Israeli airstrikes. #HamasHostageVideo #HamasHostages #IsraelHamasWar #HostageCrisis #HamasVideo #IsraeliHostages #HostageRelease #HostageFamilies #HamasTerror #HamasReleaseHostages #IsraelHostageDeal #HamasCaptivity #HamasChillingVideo #FreeTheHostages #GazaHostageCrisis Also Read Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc Justice Department and FBI Establish Task Force to Investigate Hamas Following October 7 Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/justice-department-fbi-task-force-hamas-october-7-attack-011-4097559.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Issues Last Warning To Hamas To Release All Remaining Hostages Held In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-issues-last-warning-to-hamas-to-release-all-remaining-hostages-held-in-gaza-4087647.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.410~

Trump’s Warplanes Pound Houthis NON-STOP: 13 Back-to-Back Strikes Hours After Deadly Hodeidah Strike

In a dramatic escalation, U.S. warplanes under President Trump’s command unleashed 13 relentless airstrikes on Houthi targets just hours after a deadly American bombing in Yemen’s Hodeidah. The strikes, part of a 24/7 campaign, come in response to rising Houthi aggression in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. As smoke and fire engulf rebel strongholds, reports suggest this could be one of the most intense aerial assaults yet.
