A video of two Israeli hostages taken from a music event during Hamas’ October 2023 cross-border attack has been made public.
According to the video, Guy Gilboa-Dalal is seen in late August in Gaza City, where he claims that he and eight other people are being held captive and will stay there even though Israel is planning a ground invasion. Alon Ohel is also depicted in captivity.
World leaders and families have denounced earlier footage of captives being freed by their kidnappers in Gaza as misinformation.
The only option to “bring back the hostages in security” is to fully occupy Gaza, according to Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
