[IsraelTimes] 37-second, undated video ends with chyron reading ’Tomorrow we will inform you of their fate,’ in practice Israel has slammed as psychological warfare

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

Strip, in a practice Israel says is deplorable psychological warfare.

Most Israeli media outlets do not publish the videos.

In undated, edited-together clips, the video released Sunday showed Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itay Svirsky, 38, identifying themselves and asking the Israeli government to bring them home.

The 37-second clip ended with the chyron: "Tomorrow we will inform you of their fate."

There was no information indicating when the videos were filmed.

Hamas has previously issued similar videos of hostages it is holding since October 7, when thousands of Death Eaters killed 1,200 across southern Israel and kidnapped 240 people of all ages.

The Paleostinian terror group said earlier on Sunday it had lost contact with some hostages as Israeli forces operate in Gaza, noting that they might have been killed in the process.

"The fate of many of the enemy’s hostages and detainees has become unknown in recent weeks and the rest are all in the tunnel of the unknown due to the Zionist aggression," Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida said in a televised statement. "Most likely, many of them were killed recently, the rest are in great danger every hour and the enemy’s leadership and army bear full responsibility."

He added that "any talks before stopping the Israeli aggression are worthless."

Abu Obeida also said that Hamas has been told by "several parties in the resistance fronts that they will expand their strikes on the Israeli enemy in the coming days."

At the outset of the war, triggered by the group’s October 7 shock assault, Hamas threatened to execute hostages in retaliation for Israeli military strikes.

Israeli officials have generally declined to respond to Hamas’ public messaging on the hostages, casting it as psychological warfare.

Hagar Mizrahi, a forensic official with Israel’s Health Ministry, told local TV on December 31 that autopsies of slain hostages who had been recovered found causes of death inconsistent with Hamas’ account they had died in Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s.

But Israel has also made clear it is aware of the risks to hostages from its offensive, and is taking precautions.

"The military operation takes time. It obligates us to be precise, and we are adapting it in accordance with the threats and the hostages who are in the field," IDF Spokesman Rear-Admiral Daniel Hagari said on Sunday.

Of some 240 people taken hostage by Hamas in the October 7 cross-border killing spree, around half were released in a weeklong November truce. Israel says 132 remain in Gaza and that 25 of them have died in captivity, citing new intelligence and findings obtained by troops operating in Gaza.
