Hamas' Hostage Videos: IDF Condemns Psychological Terror

TL;DR Summary
The Israeli military expects more propaganda videos from Hamas showing hostages kidnapped during the group's recent attack in southern Israel, dismissing the tactic as "psychological terror." The first video released by Hamas showed an Israeli-French hostage being treated for her injuries and speaking to the camera. The IDF spokesman condemned Hamas for the videos and questioned how a young woman attending a party ended up being kidnapped by a terrorist group. French President Emmanuel Macron also condemned Hamas and demanded the unconditional release of the hostage. Hamas claims to have 200-250 captives in Gaza, while Israel has confirmed at least 199.
