The Israeli embassy in South Korea removed from its social networks a video showing masked attackers attacking South Korean civilians in Seoul, an allusion to Hamas deemed “inappropriate” by the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs . “The killing and kidnapping of Israeli civilians by Hamas is unjustifiable, but the Israeli Embassy’s production and distribution of a video drawing parallels with the security situation in another country was deemed inappropriate “, Seoul said.
“We have conveyed our position to the Israeli Embassy in South Korea, and they have taken steps to remove the video in question,” it was written. The incriminating video, which is no longer available on the Israeli embassy’s social media channels, depicts the kidnapping of a South Korean woman by armed attackers, who forcibly separated her from her young daughter on the day Christmas, according to a clip broadcast by local channel YTN.
The images were accompanied by a caption recalling the Hamas attack on Israeli soil on October 7, which left around 1,140 dead, mostly civilians, and led to the kidnapping of 250 people, taken to Gaza. “Imagine if that had happened to you. What would you have done?” asked the embassy in the description text. YTN reported that the Israeli ambassador to Seoul, Akiva Tor, justified the publication as a way to make South Koreans, “far from Israel,” understand the stakes of the war, in a message on social media now erased.
