A new video surfaced today from the military wing of Islamic Jihad, showing hostage Rom Braslavski, who was abducted during the October 7, 2023, terror assault on the Nova music festival.
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.

California Governor Gavin Newsom revealed on Wednesday that he is taking legal action against President Trump in response to the broad tariffs the president has instituted, arguing that the measures are causing serious disruption across California’s economy — the biggest of any state in the nation.
