The Israeli campaign group Hostages and Missing Families Forum identified the captive as Alon Ohel, who was abducted by Palestinian militants during their October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.

The forum cited his family as urging the media not to use his photograph or excerpts from the video.

In the video, Ohel, 24, dressed in a black T-shirt, appeals to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure the release of all captives still held in Gaza.

He is also heard urging his family to continue protesting against Netanyahu and his government to press for their release.
