This marks the first time Braslavski has been shown on video since his abduction, serving as a rare indication that he is still alive after spending over 500 days in captivity.
His family permitted only the release of a short, heavily blurred clip that was originally circulated by Islamic Jihad.
Nineteen-year-old Braslavski, a resident of Pisgat Ze’ev, had been working as a security guard at the Nova music event held near Kibbutz Re’im when the massacre took place. Witness accounts describe his bravery as he risked his life to protect and rescue numerous attendees.
