Hamas Releases Video of Two Israeli Hostages in Gaza

Hamas released a new video showing Israeli hostages Elkana Bohbot and Yosef Haim Ohana alive in Gaza, continuing their use of psychological warfare amid ongoing conflict. Both men were kidnapped during the October 7 attack at the Nova music festival, with Bohbot appearing weak and injured, and Ohana appealing to the Israeli government to end the war. The Hostages' Families Forum has requested that the video or any parts not be published without family approval. Negotiations for hostage release have intensified recently, though no breakthrough has been achieved, with Israel demanding a partial agreement without ceasefire and Hamas insisting on a full agreement to end the war. Israeli airstrikes continue in Gaza, adding to the humanitarian crisis, while families of the hostages express distress over their loved ones' conditions and the public's shifting focus. The situation highlights the complexity of the hostage crisis amid escalating violence and diplomatic efforts.
