Overview

  • Hamas’s armed wing released a four-minute video showing Elkana Bohbot, an Israeli hostage, alive and speaking on a phone, though the recording date is unclear.
  • The video marks the third release featuring Bohbot, who was abducted during the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack in southern Israel.
  • Hamas announced it has lost contact with the captors of Edan Alexander, an Israeli-American hostage, after an Israeli bombardment in Gaza; his current status remains unknown.
