Hamas’s armed wing released a video showing two Israeli hostages, Elkana Bohbot and Yosef Haim Ohana, alive in Gaza, with Ohana urging the Israeli government to end the war and secure the release of all captives. Bohbot’s family criticized the Israeli government for not acting to save the hostages, while demonstrators in Tel Aviv called for their release. Since the war began with Hamas’s October 2023 attack, 58 hostages remain in Gaza, amidst escalating violence that has resulted in thousands of deaths on both sides.
