Hamas armed wing releases video of apparently injured Israeli hostage
- The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, released an undated video on Saturday showing Israeli-Russian hostage Maxim Herkin injured in Gaza.
- Herkin was abducted during Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack from the Nova music festival amid a conflict that caused over 1,200 Israeli deaths according to an AFP tally.
- The four-minute video features Herkin speaking Hebrew, with bandages wrapped around his head and left arm, suggesting he sustained injuries during recent Israeli attacks in the Palestinian area.
- Herkin urged pressure on Israel to free hostages and said, "I'm slowly making my way home," while Hamas holds 58 captives from the October attack, with 34 reportedly dead according to the Israeli army.
- The latest video follows stalled truce efforts and an Israeli offensive intended to force Hamas to release captives, amid concerns the renewed campaign endangers the hostages' lives.
