Nearly 230 days have passed and the family of 19-year-old soldier Naama Levy are still pleading for the Israeli government to rescue her from the throes of Hamas captivity.

In a desperate and bold attempt to secure the freedom of Naama and six other female IDF soldiers who were captured from Israel's Nahal Oz military base near the Gaza strip as part of the Oct. 7 attacks, loved ones have released graphic footage of their violent kidnapping in an effort to put pressure on Israeli officials and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to facilitate and negotiate their long-overdue release.

"The reality is they're not home yet," Naama's aunt, Efrat Moshkoviz, 49, told HNGN during an exclusive interview Thursday. "It doesn't feel like their number one priority."

Moshkoviz alleged one government official refused to watch the shocking hostage video, which shows the women brutally beaten, handcuffed and lined up against a wall, "because it would keep him up at night."

"I am a firm believer, if it was their number one priority, they (the hostages) would have been back by now," she said.

Moshkoviz forced herself to watch the grueling 3-minute video in its entirety to get a snapshot of the trauma her niece has endured over the past seven months since the onset of the Israel-Hamas War, which has claimed the lives of at least 1,200 Israelis.

"You can see Naama clearly terrified, knowing that this is a life or death situation. She's telling them, 'I have friends in Palestine,' trying to convince them that she's a peace seeker," the aunt explained.

In the disturbing footage, the terrorists can be heard touting: "These are the girls we can get pregnant."

Trigger alert –

The video of the female observers’ abduction, is a wake-up call to the civilized world. We must condemn those actions and we can not abandon the hostages held captive for 229 days.

 At the same time, "and in a very surreal moment, you can also see the girls praying while they're seated in the background, handcuffed behind their backs," explained Moshkoviz. "And they're terrified. Absolutely terrified."

"There's heartache for the horror she was going through, and what she must have been thinking and feeling since that particular moment and day, and the past 230 days, as well. This is a short representation, so it's hard."

More than 130 hostages, including the female soldiers, remain.

Several failed attempts for the Israelis and Hamas to negotiate a ceasefire and the release of the remaining prisoners have the families' hopes dwindling.

"We're stuck. That feeling of zero movement in the past few weeks is overwhelming. It's frustrating – almost paralyzing in a way – because you don't know how to influence the decision makers to do what needs to get done," admitted Moshkoviz. "The hope is this will convince them that there's just no more time to waste."
