Hamas released a video on Telegram Saturday featuring American hostage Edan Alexander speaking to the camera.On Saturday, Hamas released a video of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander. Speaking under duress, Alexander referred to being held for 420 days and mentioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent $5 million offer for the hostages' return.
A statement from U.S. National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett called the hostage video "a cruel reminder of Hamas's terror against citizens of multiple countries, including our own." The Israeli military in a statement said the alleged Oct. 7 attacker took part in the assault on the kibbutz of Nir Oz, and it asked "senior officials from the international community" and the WCK to clarify how he had come to work for the charity.
Nazmi Ahmed said his nephew worked for WCK for the past year. He said he was driving to the charity's kitchens and warehouses. "They were distributing aid, vegetables, and we saw the missile landing," witness Rami Al-Sori said. A woman sat on the ground and wept. Israel's strike in Syria came as insurgents breached its largest city, Aleppo, bringing fresh uncertainty to the region.
