The Palestinian movement Hamas has released a video of two men, whom radicals say are Israeli hostages. The footage was distributed by the movement's military wing, the "Izzedine al-Hassam" group.
The men in the video did not provide information about themselves, but the Israeli portal Ynet claims that one of them is a native of Donbas, Maxim Harkin, whose parents have Russian citizenship, and the other is an Israeli, Bar Kuperstein.
During their video address, the men complained that they were slightly injured as a result of the Israeli military's bombing of the Gaza Strip. They added that they were being held in inadequate conditions and expressed concerns that they could soon run out of water and food.
A day earlier, the representative of the "Izzedine al-Qassam" Brigades, Abu Ubeida, wrote on his Telegram channel that the radicals were holding half of the living Israeli hostages in areas that are currently a war zone and did not plan to evacuate them.
