The military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees publishes a video of an Israeli hostage who appears to be wounded.
The clip released last night by the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades shows Ohad Yahalomi being treated for an injury and speaking to the camera.
There is no information indicating when the video was filmed.
On October 7, Yahalomi, 49, was shot in the leg after he engaged in a gun battle with gunmen in his house in Kibbutz Nir Oz, before being abducted. His son Eitan Yahalomi, 12, was taken hostage separately, and was released in late November.
Terror groups in the Gaza Strip have previously issued similar videos of hostages they are holding, in what Israel says is deplorable psychological warfare.
Hamas is believed to be holding the vast majority of the remaining 132 hostages taken on October 7 in Gaza, although some are held by other terror groups.
Hamas has also been holding the bodies of fallen IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin since 2014, as well as two Israeli civilians, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who are both thought to be alive after entering the Strip of their own accord in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
