A graphic image showing Yagel Yaakov, 12-year-old boy from Kibbutz Nir Oz surrounded by armed Palestinians on October 7, has been circulating online. The photo, posted by Hillel Biton Rosen, is being shared as a stark reminder of the atrocities of the October 7 massacre.
A disturbing photograph of Yagel Yaakov, a 12-year-old boy from Kibbutz Nir Oz who was abducted on October 7, 2023, is being widely shared on social media. The image shows him surrounded by armed Palestinian assailants, some near his own age. The post, authored by Hillel Biton Rosen, is intended to remind the public of the brutality of the October 7 attacks. As The Zioneer reported earlier today (Sunday), the IDF and Shin Bet earlier eliminated a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander who participated in Yagel's abduction. The target, Zaki Yosef Mahmoud Abu Mustafa, was a Nukhba commander in the PIJ's Khan Younis brigade.
