Hamas releases another alleged hostage video

The militant Palestinian Hamas movement has released another video of a hostage abducted from Israel.

The video released on Wednesday shows a 24-year-old man making accusations against the Israeli government.

He charged that the government had failed to protect Israeli citizens and abandoned them.

It was initially unclear under what circumstances the video was made and whether the man spoke of his own free will or under threat.

The recording was also undated, but the Hamas massacre was 201 days ago on Wednesday. The man who was abducted from the Nova music festival also said in the video that 70 hostages in the Gaza Strip had been killed by Israeli airstrikes.

According to Israel, it does not currently know how many of the people abducted in the Gaza Strip are dead or under what conditions they died.

Until a few weeks ago, Israel had assumed that just under 100 of the 130 remaining hostages were still alive. However, it is now feared that significantly more of them may already be dead.

"The hostages are dying away, according to estimates less than half of them are still alive," the Israeli news website ynet recently wrote.

The people kidnapped from Israel were in an "underground hell" without food, water or medical treatment, the kidnapped man went on to say in the video published by the military arm of the terrorist organization, the so-called Qassam Brigades. He also called on the Israeli government to bring the hostages home.

The footage shows the young man with a missing forearm. According to Israeli media, his forearm was torn off when terrorists from the Gaza Strip threw grenades or artillery fire into a hiding place where he and other people had sought shelter on October 7.

According to Israeli media reports, the man is an Israeli-American.
