Hamas Releases Video Showing Two Israeli Hostages Alive in Gaza

Hamas released a video on August 28, 2025, showing two Israeli hostages, including Guy Gilboa Dalal, alive in Gaza City, marking the second sign of life from Gilboa Dalal this year. In the video, Gilboa Dalal expressed disbelief at surviving 22 months of captivity amid the ongoing conflict and described fears of possible Israeli military attacks on Gaza City that could endanger the captives' lives. The release of the full video content has been withheld at the request of the hostages' families, reflecting their sensitivity to the psychological impact. Gilboa Dalal was abducted during the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel while attending a music festival, and his family continues to hold onto hope despite the uncertainty about his condition. This latest video underscores the prolonged and tense situation surrounding Israeli captives in Gaza and highlights calls from captives for former hostages to help secure the release of those still held. The families' requests to withhold certain details demonstrate the delicate balance between public awareness and respecting the hostages' and their families' wishes.
