Hamas’s armed wing released a video showing two Israeli hostages alive in Gaza, speaking to the camera and describing how they had survived an alleged Israeli strike. Israeli campaign group, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, issued a statement confirming that the family of hostage Maxim Herkin had identified him as one of the two captives featured in the video. Israeli media named the second hostage as Israeli soldier Bar Kuperstein. Mr Herkin’s family urged the media not to publish the video.
