Hamas armed wing releases video of apparently injured Israeli hostage
- Hamas's armed wing released an undated four-minute video on Saturday showing the apparently injured Israeli-Russian hostage Maxim Herkin in Gaza.
- Maxim Herkin was taken captive at the Nova music festival during Hamas's assault on October 7, 2023, an attack that claimed the lives of more than 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians.
- The video features Herkin with bandages wrapped around his head and left arm as he speaks Hebrew, suggesting he sustained injuries during recent Israeli attacks on Gaza.
- Herkin, who will turn 37 at the end of May, called for increased efforts to secure the release of the hostages still held by Israel and shared, "I'm slowly making my way home."
- The Israeli government seeks to pressure Hamas to release hostages, including 58 still held, but critics warn the offensive risks their safety amid stalled truce efforts.
