Hamas releases video of two Israeli hostages alive in Gaza

On Saturday, Hamas shared a three-minute video from Gaza showing two Israeli captives, identified as Elkana Bohbot and Yosef-Haim Ohana, alive after being held for 582 days.
During Hamas's assault on October 7, 2023, which targeted a music festival resulting in the deaths of more than 300 attendees, numerous hostages were taken, setting off the current conflict.
In the video, Ohana appeals to Israel to end the 19-month conflict and ensure the release of all hostages, while Bohbot appears frail and is shown resting on the ground covered with a blanket.
Elkana and Yosef's families have expressed urgent pleas for their rescue, highlighting growing concerns over Bohbot's worsening physical and mental condition and calling on authorities to take immediate action.
The video release coincides with continued Israeli military operations aiming to force Hamas to free hostages, as about 59 remain captive and the war’s fate remains uncertain.
