‘Please bring us back’: Hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal’s family authorizes publication of clip from Hamas video

The family of Hamas-held hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal has authorized the publication of part of a video posted by the terror group today showing him in captivity.

In the 28-second clip, Gilboa-Dalal says the date is August 28, 2025, and that he is being held by Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza City.

Gilboa-Dalal is shown with short hair, wearing a dark blue shirt, and displaying expressions of distress, placing his face in his hands. In part of the video, he appears to be sitting in the backseat of a car aboveground.

In remarks likely dictated to him by his captors, he pleads for his release.

“This is all we want, we just want it to end,” he says. “We want to return to our families. Please bring us back.”

A clip of a video of hostage Guy Gilboa-Dalal published by Hamas on September 5, 2025, and authorized for publication by Gilboa-Dalal’s family.

The full video also includes footage of Alon Ohel, the first time he has been seen in a video since he, Gilboa-Dalal, and hundreds of others were taken hostage during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

Ohel’s family has not consented to the publication of the footage showing him.

Gilboa-Dalal’s family said in a statement, “We received a sign of life from our Guy after half a year since the last video where he was seen with Evyatar David, watching their friends be released” during a ceasefire in February.

The statement adds, “Guy, Alon and other hostages were taken to Gaza and we fear greatly for their lives. We must bring them home.”

The posting of the video, widely seen as propaganda for the terror group, comes as Israel is ramping up an offensive in Gaza City. Hamas published it on the 700th day of the war, as protests across Israel called for an agreement to release the 48 hostages still held by terror groups in Gaza, at least 20 of whom are thought to be alive.
