The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, released a video message in three languages titled "Time is Running Out," stating that Israel will not be able to free any of the hostages by force. The video includes scenes of Israeli prisoners addressing their government, expressing that the danger to them is increasing due to the bombing in Gaza.
The clip also features images of the intense bombardment carried out by the Israeli army on Gaza. It documented the deaths of 9 hostages due to Israeli airstrikes targeting the area. Additionally, the footage showed a countdown from 1 to 9, revealing images of hostages before their deaths as a result of the bombings. The brigades also published a second message in the form of an image depicting a casket, commenting, "The choice is yours: caskets or living!"
