Qassam Brigades publishes video of Israeli captive

Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, has released a video of Israeli captive Alon Ohel, saying he has been held in Gaza for more than 700 days “due to Netanyahu’s stubbornness”.

In the video posted on Telegram, Ohel appeared to be in good physical condition as he commented on a televised speech by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

The 24-year-old can be heard saying, “I demand that the US government stop supporting Netanyahu’s decisions” and “US envoy Steve Witkoff must not let Netanyahu kill us”.

Ohel also said prisoners like himself “have become a burden on the [Israeli] government, which is trying to get rid of us”.
