Hamas calls for end of bombing, shows video of 3 captives

Hamas aired a video showing three Israeli captives in Gaza and urged Israel’s government to stop its attacks, Al Jazeera reports.

The undated 37-second video of Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38, ended with the caption: “Tomorrow [Monday] we will inform you of their fate.”

Of the approximately 240 people seized by Hamas on October 7, about half were released in a November truce. Israel says 132 remain in Gaza and 25 died in captivity.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has brushed off calls for a ceasefire saying Israel will keep going until it achieves “complete victory” over Hamas and recovers the remaining captives.
