Hamas Forces Hostage Iair Horn To Hold Hourglass In Shocking ‘Time Is Running Out’ Threat To Israel

Hamas released three Israeli hostages in a highly orchestrated event but added a sinister twist by forcing hostage Iair Horn to hold an hourglass above a photo of captive Matan Zangauker, sending a chilling message that “time is running out.” The psychological stunt, widely condemned as barbaric, overshadowed the release of the hostages—Argentine-Israeli Iair Horn, Russian-Israeli Sasha Trupanov, and American-Israeli Sagui Dekel-Chen. The men were handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza before being transferred to Israeli authorities. Israeli commentators have slammed the act as another form of psychological warfare by Hamas, aimed at tormenting families still waiting for their loved ones to return. #IsraelHostages #HamasHostageRelease #IsraelHamasWar #HostagesReleased #IsraelGazaCeasefire #HamasCeasefireDeal #IsraelHamasNegotiations #GazaConflict #IsraelHamasHostageDeal #FreeTheHostages #MiddleEastCrisis #PalestinianPrisoners #CeasefireTalks #HostageReleaseLive #BreakingNews ~PR.152~ED.346~HT.336~GR.124~
