New Video Shows Gaza Hostages Celebrating Hanukkah in Captivity

Newly released footage shows six Israeli hostages celebrating Hanukkah while held captive by Hamas in Gaza. The video was taken in an underground tunnel weeks before the hostages were killed. The group is seen lighting a menorah, a candelabrum used for the Jewish holiday. Their families released the video to show the world their loved ones as they lived. They say the footage proves the hostages should have been returned home alive. The hostages were among roughly 240 people taken during the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7. Israeli officials say the six died in Hamas custody. The exact circumstances of their deaths are not detailed in the video release. The families' goal is to maintain international pressure for the return of all remaining captives.
