In the meantime, Lisa Dwyer reports body cam video of Hamas's attack has been made public. Footage of the October 7 attack on Israel shows female soldiers surrounded by armed men in a military base in southern Israel. The video released by the hostages' families forum shows bloodied young women being taken. Ashley Waxman-Bakshi, whose cousin is in the video, describes her reaction. "I cried while watching it and towards the end I felt like I was going to throw up. I think any person who watches this video will understand that feeling, especially as a woman." While watching the video was difficult, it still brought Bakshi some hope. "The last time we've heard of her and how to sign of life was 26th of November, months and months and months ago from the released hostages that came back and said that they had seen her since then nothing. No sign of life. But we know she's alive." I'm Lisa Dwyer.
