Hamas has published a propaganda video showing signs of life from hostage soldier Edan Alexander.
The three-minute-long video is not dated, though Alexander states that he has been held for 551 days, indicating it was filmed very recently.
Alexander, a US citizen, is a soldier who was stationed near the Gaza Strip on the morning of October 7 when he was taken captive by Hamas terrorists.
It is the second video of Alexander published by Hamas. In November, Hamas released the first video of the hostage soldier.
Hamas has previously issued similar videos of hostages it is holding, in what Israel says is deplorable psychological warfare.
The Hostage and Missing Families Forum has asked that Israeli media not publish the video or stills from the clip until his family approves them.
