00:00Two Israeli hostages who have been held in Gaza for nearly two years have reportedly appeared in a new video released by Hamas.
00:10The footage shows Guy Gilboa Dalal and Elan Oil.
00:14In the video, Gilboa Dalal is seen inside a car with damaged buildings passing in the background.
00:20The two are among the 48 hostages still believed to be held by Hamas.
00:23He says he believes his own government is responsible for their capture and expresses fear about the Israeli offensive in Gaza City.
00:32I am terrified of the Israeli army attacking Gaza City.
00:35This means we will die here, he says, speaking directly to the camera.
00:40The video was apparently recorded days after a Hamas official said the organization intended to leverage the remaining hostages to block the Israeli attack on Gaza City.
00:49Israel began its offensive on August 10th, targeting what officials call Hamas's last stronghold.
00:56By September 4th, military spokespeople say about 40 percent of the city is under Israeli control.
01:03Defense Minister Israel Katz shared a separate video of a building collapsing after an Israeli strike and warned that operations will intensify unless Hamas meets conditions to end the conflict.
01:14Hamas has said it may consider a plan to release some hostages in exchange for a temporary ceasefire.
