The Israel Defense Forces assesses that Hamas may try to move the hostages held in Gaza City ahead of the intensified military operation there, Channel 13 reports.
The report says that the military believes that the video of hostages Alon Ohel and Guy Gilboa-Dalal, released today by the terror group but apparently dated August 28, 2025, was filmed in an area of the Shati refugee camp, where the IDF is not present.
According to Channel 13, the military admits that they do not have a complete intelligence picture of the locations of all the hostages held in Gaza.
