Palestinian militant group releases video of 2 Israeli hostages, among 48 still in Gaza
-
TEL AVIV — Hamas has released a video of two Israeli hostages seized in October 2023 from a music festival in Israel, with one saying he was being held in Gaza City, where the Israeli military has launched a major offensive to wipe out the militant group.
Mr Guy Gilboa-Dalal and Mr Alon Ohel are two of 48 people still being held by Hamas in Gaza, with 20 thought to be still alive.
Hamas initially took 251 hostages into the enclave after its cross-border raid on southern Israeli communities that Israel says killed 1,200 people, triggering the war.
More than 64,000 Palestinians have since been killed, the Gaza health authorities say, with much of the densely populated enclave laid to ruin and its residents facing a humanitarian crisis.
The video, edited and released on Sept 5, features an exhausted-looking Mr Gilboa-Dalal speaking for around 3½ minutes.
He is seen in a car for some of the video dated Aug 28.
Reuters could not independently determine when the video was recorded.
He said he is being held in Gaza City along with several other hostages, and that he is afraid of being killed in Israel's offensive on the city.
