The military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group publishes a video of hostages Gadi Mozes and Elad Katzir in which they call on Israel’s leadership to urgently act to bring about their release.
Katzir and Mozes were taken hostage from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7.
Seemingly speaking under duress, the pair in separate clips are heard warning that they could die at any moment due to the IDF’s strikes.
