Hamas released a chilling video on Friday showing two Israeli hostages taken during the October 2023 music festival attack. The footage reveals Guy Gilboa-Dalal and Alon Ohel—among 48 captives still held in Gaza—pleading for safety as Israel’s military intensifies strikes in Gaza City.
Inside the Video
The edited clip shows an exhausted Gilboa-Dalal speaking for over three minutes, with segments dated August 28. “We’re trapped here,” he says, claiming he and others are held in a building targeted by Israeli forces. Families of the hostages have called the video a “psychological weapon” amid stalled negotiations.
Escalating Tensions
Israel confirmed the video’s authenticity but accused Hamas of “manipulating victims’ voices.” Meanwhile, airstrikes continue to pound Gaza high-rises, with the military vowing to “dismantle Hamas infrastructure.” Only 20 of the 48 hostages are believed alive, deepening fears for their safety.
As global leaders urge restraint, families demand action: “Bring them home now.” The conflict, now in its 11th month, shows no signs of cooling. 🔥
