The Hamas terror group released a video of two Israeli hostages watching the ceremony in which militants released six other hostages in accordance with a ceasefire agreement with Israel.

The two men were identified as Eviatar David and Guy Gilboa Dalal. Although their families allowed the video to be published, they described it as 'disgusting'.
The Hamas footage shows the two men in a vehicle, observing the ceremony in the central Gaza neighborhood of Nuseirat and pleading with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure their release.

The men often cover their faces and wring their hands.

David, a big music fan, was captured by the Nova festival during the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
Gilboa Dalal, a lover of Japanese culture who has also learned the language, was also captured in the attack on the festival. | BGNES, AFP
