Families of troops abducted from burning tank find footage of them from days before Oct. 7
The families of three IDF soldiers who were attacked and taken hostage from a tank stationed on the Gaza border on October 7, 2023, have received previously unseen footage of their loved ones that was recorded just days before the attack.
Sgt. Nimrod Cohen, Sgt. Oz Daniel and Cpt. Omer Neutra were stationed at the so-called “White House” IDF post between Kibbutz Nir Oz and Kibbutz Nirim on the morning of October 7, along with the fourth member of their tank crew, Sgt. Shaked Dahan.
Their tank was attacked by Hamas terrorists with RPG fire and explosive devices. Dahan, Daniel and Neutra were all killed in the attack, and their bodies were taken to Gaza, where they are still held. Cohen was abducted alive, and a returning hostage told his family back in February that he had seen him in Gaza some eight months prior, though in poor physical and mental shape.
Now-infamous footage from the attack showed Palestinians in civilian clothing standing on and around their tank while it was wreathed in smoke and flames, and the soldiers being dragged out by Hamas terrorists.
