The armed wing of the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad has published a video of an Israeli-German hostage who was abducted and taken to Gaza in October 2023, AFP reports.

In the six-minute video, the man, Rom Braslavski, speaking in Hebrew, is seen watching recent news footage of the hunger crisis in Gaza. He identifies himself and pleads with the Israeli government to secure his release.

Islamic Jihad, which said last week that it had lost contact with the hostage, repeated that claim in commentary at the beginning of the latest video, suggesting the images were filmed more than a week ago.

A previous video of Braslavski was released on April 16.

Originally from Jerusalem, Braslavski was a security agent at the Nova music festival.
