Hamas released a video on Saturday night showing Israeli hostage Liri Albag, a 19-year-old surveillance observer who was abducted at age 18 from the Nahal Oz post during the group's October 7 attack, along with six others. In the three-and-a-half-minute video, Albag states that she has been held captive for over 450 days, suggesting it was filmed recently. Israeli officials have labeled the video as propaganda aimed at creating pressure on Israel, and the Albag family has requested that no parts or images of the video be publicized.
