Hamas Releases New Video of Israeli-American Hostage Edan Alexander

The video shows Alexander pleading for his release after 551 days in captivity, as Israel escalates military operations in Gaza.

Hamas has released a video showing Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander alive, held captive for 551 days since his abduction on October 7, 2023.
In the video, Alexander appears under duress, criticizing the Israeli government for failing to secure his release and pleading to return home.
The release of the video coincides with Passover, a holiday symbolizing freedom, as Alexander's family calls for his return and that of the remaining hostages.
Israel's military has intensified its operations in Gaza, recently seizing the strategic Morag axis, raising concerns about the safety of hostages and civilians.
Approximately 58 hostages remain in Hamas custody, with ongoing international mediation efforts failing to yield a resolution to the crisis.
