# The armed wing of Palestinian militant group Hamas released footage today purporting to show two hostages seized during the 7 October 2023 attack on Israel alive in Gaza City late last month. The video shows one hostage in a car being driven through a neighbourhood with destroyed buildings, calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to carry out a planned military offensive to conquer Gaza City. The hostage, who is later filmed meeting another captive, says he is in Gaza City and that the video was filmed on 28 August.
