Hamas’s armed wing released a video on Saturday showing two Israeli hostages alive in Gaza, speaking to the camera and describing how they had survived an alleged Israeli strike.
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades released the more than two-minute clip, in which one of the two men appears with his right cheek and right hand bandaged.
AFP was unable to verify the authenticity of the footage or when it was filmed.
The video was released a day after Israeli forces launched a ground offensive in Gaza City in the Shujaiya area “in order to expand the security zone" inside the Palestinian territory.
Hamas’s armed wing said on Friday the offensive was putting hostages’ lives at risk.
During their October 7, 2023 attack on Israel that triggered the war in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian militants abducted 251 hostages.
Fifty-eight hostages remain in captivity, including 34 whom the Israeli military says are dead.
During a recent ceasefire that ended on March 18 when Israel resumed air strikes on Gaza, militants released 33 hostages, eight of whom were dead.
