Unlike previous hostage videos focused on proof-of-life or demands, this footage weaponizes visible physical suffering to create maximum psychological impact.

📰 What Happened
Hamas has released propaganda footage showing Israeli hostage Evyatar David in an severely emaciated state, demonstrating the deliberate use of starvation as a psychological warfare tactic. The video appears designed to pressure Israel through public shock at the hostage's skeletal condition. This represents a new evolution in Hamas's hostage strategy, using visible physical deterioration as a bargaining tool and media weapon.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The weaponization of starvation aligns with biblical predictions about siege warfare in the last days (Deuteronomy 28:53-57). Hamas's calculated use of metabolic suffering as propaganda demonstrates the prophesied increase in psychological warfare targeting Israel (Zechariah 12:2-3). The international media amplification of this hostage footage fulfills prophecies about Jerusalem becoming a 'cup of trembling' to all surrounding peoples. This represents a strategic evolution in how ancient siege tactics merge with modern information warfare against Israel.
