New Hamas propaganda video shows 3 elderly Israeli hostages
The terror group Hamas released a new propaganda video on Monday evening showing three of the Israeli hostages that terrorists kidnapped on Oct. 7, without indicating when the footage was taken.
They identified themselves as Chaim Peri (79), Amiram Cooper (84) and Yoram Metzger (80), all residents of Kibbutz Nir Oz.
In the video, they ask for Israel to arrange their release, stating that they are in bad health, and ask for Israel not to let them grow old in captivity.
The video is widely seen as Hamas propaganda to support a new initiative for another hostage release deal.
Israel's KAN news outlet military correspondent Roi Sharon noted that as the last hostage deal was breaking down, Hamas attempted to exchange three elderly male hostages for elderly terrorists serving heavy sentences in Israeli prisons.
The video may indicate their readiness for such a deal at this time.
