Palestinian Islamic Jihad published a new video showing hostage Alexander Trupanov on the electronic platform Telegram on Thursday.
Alexander confirmed he was healthy and told the camera, "The IDF tried to kill me a few times; thank you to the al-Quds brigade."
He also told the protestors to keep up the pressure on the government telling them "I dont want to be the next statistic. I don't want to be the next in line, please help me come home."
This comes following a previous video published by the PIJ earlier this week in which Alexander can be seen saying, "wait patiently, I will send a message in the next few days."
This is a developing story.
