Hamas released a video of three Israeli prisoners on Sunday. Among them was Nova Rave attendee Noah Algamani, who became the face of the hostage crisis after she was seen on video being dragged away on a motorcycle.
The video contained an ominous warning: “Tomorrow we will inform you about their fate.”
In a video released by the terrorist group, Al-Ghamani, 26, and fellow hostages Yossi Shalabi, 53, and Itai Svirski, 38, appear for the first time since their abduction on October 7.
It is unclear when the video was shot.
However, like other hostage videos released by Hamas, the three are seen introducing themselves and pleading with the Israeli government to do whatever it can to ensure their safe return.
They conclude with a message to the Israeli people claiming that “the government is lying.”
The development came after Hamas claimed it had lost contact with “many” of its hostages following Israeli shelling in Gaza and claimed the hostages may have been killed.
The video does not detail the condition of the three hostages, among an estimated 250 people kidnapped in the brutal Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
Al-Ghamani appeared in one of the first videos about the Hamas attack, in which he was shown shouting, “Don't kill me!” She was carried away on the back of a motorcycle.
The hostage was photographed sobbing and trying to reach her boyfriend, Abinatan Orr, who was also manhandled before being picked up by the terrorists.
The shocking video went viral on social media and quickly became one of the most famous scenes from the Supernova Rave attack, which left more than 360 festival goers dead.
Al-Ghamani attracted international attention after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed that he had asked Beijing for help on behalf of the hostage's mother, Liora, a Chinese national.
Liora, who has terminal brain cancer, begged Israel and China to help reunite her family before she succumbed to the disease.
He also sent a heartbreaking letter to President Biden in December asking for U.S. assistance, and CNN anchor John Oz cried while reading the letter on air.
“I am terminally ill with stage 4 brain cancer. All I can think of before I leave my family forever is the chance to hold my only child, my daughter, one last time,” Liola said. wrote.
Shalabi was kidnapped along with her brother Eli, 51, when Hamas attacked their home in Kibbutz Beli during Sukkot.
The kibbutz house was set on fire, and Eli's wife and two teenage daughters were confirmed dead along with their dog. The Times of Israel reported.
Svirski, from Tel Aviv, was also in Beiri visiting his parents when he was kidnapped by Hamas, but the bodies of his mother and father were discovered days later.
More than 130 hostages are still being held in Gaza, and the Jewish state believes that around 25 of them include the bodies of Israeli citizens whom Hamas has refused to hand over.
