Gaza ,. Hamas’s military branch Al-Kassam Brigade has released a video of Israeli-American mortgage Aden Alexander, which has been held hostage in the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023.
In the video released on Saturday, Aidan is seen physically and mentally disturbed. He said, “Why am I here, why not at home with my family and friends?”
According to the news agency Xinhua, Aidan was born in Tel Aviv in Israel and grew up in New Jersey, USA. After passing high school in 2022, he returned to Israel to join the army. On October 7, 2023, Palestinian militants abducted him during an attack on Southern Israel.

After the video was released, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that he spoke to the family of Aidan Alexander and assured that intensive efforts were on for the release of all hostages.
Let us know that the first ceasefire of six weeks between Israel and Hamas ended on March 1 and the second phase of talks have stopped.
It is noteworthy that 59 out of 251 people held hostage during the October 7, 2023 attack are still imprisoned in Gaza. Israel believes that 24 of them are alive.
On March 14, Hamas said that he had agreed to release the bodies of Aden and four other hostages to the mediators.
The Israeli army has resumed air strikes in Gaza from 18 March. Gaza health officials said on Saturday that 1,563 Palestinians have been killed and 4,004 were injured in these attacks.
