Hamas releases a video of two Israeli hostages held in Gaza

Hamas released a video showing two Israeli hostages seized from a music festival during his cross -border attack in October 2023.

The video claims to show Guy Gilboa-Dalal in Gaza in late August, where he says he and eight others are held and will remain despite Israel’s planned offensive. He also shows a captive Alon Ohwel.

More hostages of hostages posted by their abductors in Gaza have been convicted From world leaders and families such as propaganda.

The Israeli National Security Minister called on the full occupation of the gas in response, claiming that this was the only way to “return the hostages to security.”

The video shows Mr. Gilboa-Dalal, who was seized from the Nova Festival in South Israel, begging for his release. In footage of August 28, he was filmed in a car in what he says he is the city of Gaza.

The footage also showed the first time since he was abducted in the attack 700 days ago. Mr. Gilboa-Dalal was previously seen in Hamas’s video in February.

They are two of the 48 hostages who are still held by Hamas, 20 of which are thought to be alive.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke “long” with the parents of the two men after the video was released, a statement from his cabinet said.

It says he reiterated that the war could end immediately if Hamas accepts Israel’s conditions, which include the release of all hostages.

“No evil propaganda video will weaken us or divert us from our determination to achieve these goals,” the statement said.

But a group representing the hostage’s families replied, saying that anyone who “really wants to return all 48 hostages” should “immediately” should return to the negotiating table.

The hostage and missing families forum wrote on x: “Those who really want a hostage home must reach the agreement that awaits the discussion and reaction of the Israel government and use it for a complete deal to return all hostages.”

Hamas said in August that he had adopted a plan from the regional mediators Qatar and Egypt, who would see 10 living hostages and the bodies of 18 dead hostages, released during a 60-day truce, in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and detained in Israeli prisons.

Israel did not respond to the plan, but insists that all hostages should be put into one move.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Friday that Israeli military would “intensify” until Hamas accepts Israel’s conditions to end the war, threatening that the armed group would be “destroyed” otherwise.

Opposition leader Jair Lapid has called on Israeli negotiators to resume negotiations on the fire termination transaction to release the hostages.

On Friday, Hamas Health Ministry in Gaza said 30 Palestinians had been killed in the last 24 hours, including 20 in Gaza.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that they have hit a block on the tower that it claims to have been used by Hamas.

It says precautions have been taken to mitigate civilian harm, “including preliminary warnings for the population” and the use of “accurate ammunition”.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to take control of Gaza a month ago after indirect negotiations with Hamas for a deal to terminate and release hostages fell apart in July.

In recent weeks, Israel has strengthened operations around Gaza and said that his offensive has established control of 40% of the city, which he claims to be a Hamas fortress.

The UN Groups and the aid have warned that the offensive already has “horrific humanitarian consequences” for displaced families sheltered in the city, which is home to a million people and where hunger was confirmed last month.

Satellite images show several neighborhoods in parts of the city have been Equalized by Israeli strikes and destroyed In the last month.

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to an attack led by Hamas on October 7 in 2023, in which 1200 people were killed and another 251 were taken hostage.

At least 64 231 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the health ministry in the territory.
