Bipin managed to pick up a grenade thrown into a shelter by Hamas terrorists and hurl it back, an eyewitness said earlier this year.By JNSThe family of Bipin Joshi, a Nepalese agricultural student kidnapped by Hamas during the Oct. 7, 2023 attack, released footage of Bipin in captivity, on Wednesday.The video, believed to have been filmed in Nov. 2023, shows Bipin identifying himself.The family authorized the release of the video.“Marking two years since the horrific massacre that plunged thousands of families into the circle of loss and grief, and froze time for our family and other hostages families, we have chosen to share a sign of life of our beloved son, Bipin,” the family said in a statement.The family described the footage as “an anchor” and a “confirmation” of their belief that he is still alive.“For many months, this footage was under strict censorship. Only recently were we granted permission to release it. It is not easy for us to share it publicly, but we are in critical and historic days that will determine the fate of the 48 hostages, whether the living will return to their families and the deceased to a proper burial, or whether we will remain in pain without closure,” the family added.https://worldisraelnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Joshi-video.mp4Bipin Joshi, a Nepali agricultural student, appears in a Hamas video that was released to the public on Oct. 8, 2025. Joshi was taken captive from Kibbutz Alumim on October 7, 2023.Bipin, 23, was taken captive from Kibbutz Alumim, less than 2.5 miles from the Gaza border, during the Oct. 7 attack when Hamas killed more than 1,200 people and took 251 hostages during its onslaught on southern Israel.Bipin managed to pick up a grenade thrown into a shelter by Hamas terrorists and hurl it back, an eyewitness told JNS earlier this year.“Bipin was brutally abducted from Kibbutz Alumim, while ten of his friends were murdered that same day. Young students, beautiful and innocent souls. For two years, it has been difficult for the world to imagine Bipin as a hostage in the tunnels. Not anymore,” the family said.The family is in the United States advocating for Bipin. They expressed hope that U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with them:“We call on all diplomatic and international actors involved: Do not give up on them. Bring the day. Bring them home.”Israel and U.S. negotiating teams are in Egypt to work out details for the release of all the hostages under the terms of a deal recently proposed by the Trump administration.Twenty hostages still held by Hamas are thought to be alive. The terror group holds the bodies of an additional 28 hostages, who died in captivity.On Aug. 17, Israeli President Isaac Herzog met with the Joshi family.“We are screaming and calling to the international community, listen to the voice of Bipin,” Herzog said, holding a picture of the Nepalese student.“It’s too much heartbreak for me and my family,” said Bipin’s 17-year-old sister Pushpa during the meeting with the president. “I want to thank Israel from the bottom of my heart for standing with us. I thank God for giving us hope.”(From L-R): Padma Joshi, Michal Herzog, President Isaac Herzog holding a picture of Gaza hostage Bipin Joshi, and Pushpa Joshi, at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem Credit: Amos Ben Gershom / GPO, August 17, 2025.The highly emotional meeting at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem with Joshi’s mother Padma and sister Pushpa, who had flown in to Israel for the first time, came after Israeli officials cited “grave concerns” for Joshi’s life amid months of on-again off-again negotiations for the hostages’ release.They also met with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar during their visit.The post Nepalese family of Hamas hostage releases video of captive appeared first on World Israel News.
