Hamas Releases Video of Colombian-Israeli Hostage Elkana Bohbot.

Hamas has released a video of Elkana Bohbot, a Colombian-Israeli hostage held since October 7, 2023. The 36-year-old appears alongside Yossef-Haïm Ohana, 24, in a three-minute video harshly criticizing Israel’s decision to break the ceasefire, which had temporarily raised their hopes for release.

Colombian hostage Elkana Bohbot resurfaces in Hamas video.

In the video, the two men identify themselves as hostage number 21 and 22, condemning the Israeli government for breaking the fragile truce.

“We suffered a severe blow,” says Ohana. “On March 18, the Israeli government decided to attack Gaza from the air. That attack could have killed us. We know they are telling you they intend to bring us home, but understand that an attack like the one that happened yesterday was the closest I have come to death, along with those here with me.”
