Israeli-German hostage in Gaza appeals to Netanyahu in new Hamas video
Alon Ohel urged the Israeli prime minister to secure the release of all captives still held in Gaza amid ongoing protests by his family
Hamas’ armed wing released a video on Monday showing an Israeli-German hostage alive, the second such footage of him shared by the militants this month.
The Israeli campaign group Hostages and Missing Families Forum identified the captive as Alon Ohel, who was abducted by Palestinian militants during their October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
The forum cited his family as urging the media not to use his photograph or excerpts from the video.
In the video, Ohel, 24, dressed in a black T-shirt, appeals to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure the release of all captives still held in Gaza.
He is also heard urging his family to continue protesting against Netanyahu and his government to press for their release.
The clip also shows a militant holding a gun, dressed in black, tapping Ohel’s shoulder.
