Orit Meir, the mother of 21-year-old Almog Meir-Jan, who was kidnapped by Hamas and then filmed in captivity inside Gaza in a video the group later broadcast, talks to Sky News about her son.

She describes her son as someone who "smiles all the time", saying: "He smiles all the time. He takes life easy. He's a very, very happy guy with lots of energy. Full of values. Sensitive. And he is friendly. He has lots of friends."
