• Most of the Hamas-released video follows hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal traveling in Gaza City and includes a brief meeting with Ohel, with Gilboa-Dalal stating the date as August 28, 2025.
• Ohel’s family, after consulting eye specialists, reported he cannot see out of his right eye and said Hamas bears responsibility under international law to provide proper medical care.
• The family authorized publication of a still image from the video, marking the first filmed proof of life of Ohel since his abduction on October 7, 2023.
• The Hostages and Missing Families Forum urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately send a negotiating delegation for a cease-fire and a comprehensive deal, saying Israel has not responded for three weeks to an updated Hamas reply via mediators.
• As the IDF intensified operations in Gaza City, including striking high-rises after evacuation warnings, Gaza health officials reported more than 60 Palestinians killed in the past day, and hostage families warned the fighting could endanger captives.
