The Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad have released videos showing Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Islamic Jihad published footage of an Israeli-German hostage abducted during the October 7, 2023, attack that triggered the ongoing conflict in the region. Hamas released a video of Evyatar David, an Israeli hostage kidnapped at the Nova Music Festival, depicting him in an emaciated state. Reports indicate that Hamas is deliberately starving David as a form of torture. The videos highlight the humanitarian concerns surrounding the treatment of Israeli captives amid the broader conflict in Gaza.
