Islamic Jihad releases video showing Gaza hostage alive

Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad released Monday video footage it claimed showed an Israeli hostage alive in its custody in Gaza, after being seized during the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

In the video, a man speaking in English and Hebrew from an undisclosed location calls for his release and pays tribute to Tamir Adar, another hostage whose death was announced in early January by his kibbutz community in southern Israel.
