Guy Gilboa-Dalal can be seen speaking to Alon Ohel in Gaza City
September 5, 2025 09:07Hamas has released a video of two hostages, Alon Ohel and Guy Gilboa-Dalal.
Gilboa-Dalal can be seen inside a car meeting Ohel near the Red Cross headquarters in Gaza City, saying that he could not believe he was still alive after 22 months of captivity and telling the other hostage, “I can’t believe I’m seeing you.”
In the clip, which Israelis commonly refer to as a “psychological terror video”, Gilboa-Dalal says he has been held captive for 22 months, which could indicate that the footage was filmed recently.

First filmed proof of life after 700 days: Palestinian factions in Gaza released a video showing Israeli hostages Alon Ahel and Guy Gilboa Dalal. It is unknown when the footage was recorded or whether they are still alive. The images suggest severe… pic.twitter.com/cOAiroaBTc
Ohel, 24, from Lavon in the Upper Galilee, was injured by shrapnel when he was kidnapped on October 7 and has been unable to see out of his right eye.
Gilboa-Dalal was 22 when he was taken hostage from Nova, his first music festival.
He attended with his older brother, Gal. When Hamas began their attack, Gal urged Guy to get into his car. But Guy was reluctant to abandon his friends, and the two brothers separated.
Gal escaped the massacre that followed – but not his brother.
“I don’t think anyone else can relate to what we’re going through. I feel like every day we go through the same process, of losing faith, losing hope, finding it again, thinking about Guy, getting stronger for him,” Gal has said.
“I go to sleep with him, I wake up with him. I can actually hear his screaming from the tunnels, telling me if I did enough today, what I'm doing to help him get out of there. As long as I’m here, I’m his voice and I have no other option than do everything I can for him.”
Gilboa-Dalal, from Alfei Menashe in the West Bank, was last seen in a video published by Hamas during a ceasefire in February, when the terrorist group forced him and another captive, Evyatar David, to watch the release of other hostages.
