A video clip has been released showing Bipin Joshi, a Nepali student who was allegedly held hostage by Hamas in Gaza for two years.
The Times of Israel published the video late Wednesday night, claiming it was filmed shortly after Hamas kidnapped Bipin during the attack on Kibbutz Alumim on October 7, 2023. The video, which was recovered by the Israel Defense Forces and provided to Bipin's family, is believed to have been filmed in November 2023.
In the 33-second video, Joshi is speaking in English.
“My name is Bipin Joshi. I am from Nepal. I am 23 years old. I came here to Israel 25 days ago. I came here for the “Learn and Earn program,” I am a student,” he says. “I work in agricultural farm[ing] in citrus and lemon farm.”
Along with this video, hope has been rekindled that he is alive. However, since the video is two years old, Bipin's current condition is still not clear.
