Tel Aviv [Israel], April 19 (ANI/TPS): Hamas announced today that the fate of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander remains unknown, days after the terrorist group claimed that the guard holding him had been killed.

Last Tuesday, three days after Hamas released a new video showing the hostage, the group announced that it had lost contact with its operatives holding Alexander in Gaza.

Alexander, from the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade, was stationed near Gaza on the morning of 7 October when he was abducted.

A third video showing another hostage, Elkana Bohbot, who is also being held in Gaza, was released by the terrorist group today. The Hostage Families Forum has called on the Israeli media not to publish the video or stills from it until his family has given its consent.

Israel has described such videos as deplorable psychological warfare by the terrorist organisation. (ANI/TPS)
