TL;DR Summary

The parents of 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage by Hamas during the Supernova music festival in Israel, have gained strength from seeing a video of their son on the day he was kidnapped. Hersh hid in a bomb shelter during the attack, but his arm was blown off when the militants opened fire and threw grenades. Witnesses saw him being loaded into a Hamas truck, and his parents hope he is still alive. At least 222 hostages were taken, and four have been released so far. The parents commend the Biden administration for their support and call for global attention to the humanitarian crisis and the release of the hostages.
