Hamas released a video showing Israeli hostages Eviatar David and Guy Giloba-Dalal in a vehicle at the stage set up by it yesterday for the release of three other captives in Nuseirat in central Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

David and Gliboa-Dalal are not among those slated for release in the first phase of the ceasefire deal.

According to Al Jazeera, in the video, the two men are seen saying, “Please save us. Please take us home.”

Referring to the release of Eliya Cohen, Omer Wenkert and Omer Shem Tov, the men remaining in captivity say, “We want to be like them.”

 Omer Wenkert, a hostage who was held in Gaza since the deadly October 7, 2023 attack, reacts after he was released from captivity as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal, at Beilinson Schneider complex in Petah Tikva, Israel on Feb 22, 2025. — Reuters/Nir Elias
