Hamas’s armed wing released a video showing two Israeli hostages alive in the Gaza Strip, with one of the two men calling for an end to the 19-month-long offensive, AFP reports.
The pair were identified by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum campaign group as Elkana Bohbot and Yosef Haim Ohana, who were kidnapped during Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
The undated three-minute video footage released by Hamas’s Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades shows one of the hostages, 36-year-old Bohbot, visibly weak and lying on the floor wrapped in a blanket.
The second hostage, Ohana, 24, speaks in Hebrew, urging the Israeli government to end the military offensive in Gaza and secure the release of all remaining captives.
