00:00 Hamas on Monday released a video showing three of the more than 230 people Israel says were
00:06 seized by Palestinian groups in massive October 7 raids, which triggered an all-out war in
00:12 Gaza.
00:13 One of the women delivers a brief statement, likely under duress, criticising Israel's
00:17 response to the hostage crisis.
00:19 Hamas captured around 240 people during the deadly raid and said that they will release
00:24 them in return for thousands of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
00:28 It was unclear when or where the video of the women, whose statement was almost certainly
00:32 dictated by the captives, was filmed.
00:35 Shortly after the video's publication, the Prime Minister's office identified the women
00:39 as Daniel Aloni, Raymond Bustab Kersht and Lina Trupanov, and their families announced
00:45 they would hold a press conference in the evening.
00:48 The women are seen in the video sitting on plastic chairs against a white tile wall,
00:52 as one of them urges Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a prisoner
00:56 exchange for the release of all captives.
00:59 Speaking in Hebrew, the woman becomes agitated and starts shouting, almost screaming by the
01:05 end.
01:06 The other two sitting either side of her remain silent.
01:08 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the anguished images of the three
01:12 women as "cruel psychological propaganda" and vowed to "do everything to bring home
01:17 all the kidnapped and missing people."
01:20 This is the second video Hamas has released since October 7, perpetually showing hostages
01:24 speaking from captivity in Gaza.
01:26 This comes as Israel steps up its air and ground assault on the narrow Palestinian territory.
01:31 Earlier on Monday, the family of German-Israeli Shani Loke said they had been notified that
01:36 she had died after being seized by gunmen at a music festival where at least 260 people
01:40 were killed.
01:41 Israel says 239 people were seized by Hamas fighters who crossed the border on October
01:45 7 to launch surprise attacks on Kibbutz communities, towns and military bases that killed 1,400
01:50 people.
01:51 Hamas's armed wing has said that almost 50 of them had been killed in Israeli strikes,
01:56 which according to the Hamas-run health ministry have also killed more than 8,300 people in
02:00 Gaza, more than half women and children.
02:03 Israeli officials say that the hostages' ages range from a few months to more than
02:07 80 years.
02:08 Authorities believe hostages are being held in a giant underground network of tunnels
02:12 built by Hamas.
02:14 The Hamas-led group is said to have been involved in the Gaza Strip attack.
