"Time is Running Out" - Hamas Announces Death of Israeli Hostage and Releases Video Clip

On Saturday, the "Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades," the military wing of Hamas, released a video clip of a man held captive in Gaza, stating later that he "died from injuries sustained a month ago during an Israeli airstrike." The statement from al-Qassam mentioned: "The death of the prisoner 'Nadav Boblapil,' 51 years old, who holds British nationality, was due to the injuries he sustained when Israeli aircraft targeted his place of detention over a month ago, alongside the female prisoner Judy Vanstein, whose health condition deteriorated and ultimately led to his death due to not receiving intensive medical care in the healthcare facilities, which have been destroyed by the enemy in Gaza and rendered out of service." The video lasted 11 seconds and was accompanied by text in both Arabic and Hebrew saying: "Time is running out. Your government is lying." The video was shared via the military wing's Telegram channel. On April 27, Hamas released a video showing two hostages alive, Keith Siegel and Omri Miran.
