Hamas’s armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, has released a video of a man held hostage in Gaza by Palestinian militants and seen alive in the footage.
The captive, identified by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum campaign group as Nadav Popplewell, is seen speaking in the 11-second clip, which is superimposed with text in Arabic and Hebrew that reads: “Time is running out. Your government is lying.”
In the video, the hostage, who is also a British national, spots a black eye and is seen speaking under duress. He introduces himself as 51-year-old Popplewell, from kibbutz Nirim in southern Israel.
Popplewell was kidnapped from his home during Hamas’s October 7 attack along with his mother, Hanna Peri, who was released during a one-week truce in November — the only pause so far in more than seven months of war.
Popplewell’s older brother was killed in the attack.
The video posted Saturday on the Telegram channel of Hamas’s armed wing was the third time in less than a month that the group releases footage of captives held in Gaza.
