Islamic Jihad today (Tuesday) released a psychological terror video of the 28-year-old abductee Alexander (Sasha) Tropanov, who was kidnapped from his parents' home in Nir Oz on October 7th.
In the short video, Sasha says: "Citizens of Israel, in the coming days you will hear from me what happened to me and the other prisoners here in Gaza.".

Tropanov was kidnapped to the Gaza Strip along with his partner Sapir Cohen, his mother Yelena, 50, and his grandmother Irena Tati, 73. His father Vitaly was murdered in the brutal massacre.
Alex's mother and grandmother were released on November 29, 2023, after 54 days in captivity, as a gesture from Hamas to Putin for the release of Israeli hostages with Russian citizenship. His partner Sapir was released the next day, on November 30, 2023, as part of the deal to release the hostages.
Sasha, who worked at Amazon for the past year as an engineer in the cloud division, remains captive in Gaza.
Sasha's mother, Yelena, appeared in a documentary released by Hamas while she was in captivity along with Rimon Kirsht from Nirim and Daniel Aloni who was kidnapped from Nir Oz, along with her daughter Emilia.
His mother, Yelena, previously told Channel 12 about the difficult conditions she experienced in the Gaza Strip - and the anticipation of meeting her kidnapped son. "There was a time when there was no water, there were 15 of us crammed into a small space, it was very difficult to breathe. I am very worried about the people who remained there, I am very worried about their safety.
""Sometimes it's very hard, and there are days that are harder. Sasha's friends and people I meet on the street hug me and support me. That's what gives me the strength to keep fighting until my son comes back. He's my only son, I owe it to my husband too.".
The Tropanov family is a family of Zionists who immigrated to Israel from the Soviet Union 25 years ago and settled on a kibbutz. On Simchat Torah, Sasha visited his parents with his partner Sapir and they were all kidnapped together to Gaza.
When the terrorists took Sapir out of the compound, she saw Sasha. Armed terrorists grabbed him and his face was bleeding. "He looks at me and shouts 'No, no' - that's it."
