Hamas on Monday released a video showing three Israelis being held captive in Gaza after being abducted from southern Israel three weeks ago.

SOUNDBITE: "Benjamin Netanyahu, hello, we have been in Hamas captivity for 23 days. Yesterday there was a press conference for the families of the prisoners, we know that there was supposed to be a ceasefire, and you were supposed to release us. You should have released us, and you promised to release us. However, we are suffering from your political, security and military failures, because of the “failure” that you caused on the 7th of October, because no soldier was in the place and no one came to us, and no one was here to defend us. We are innocent and naive citizens, citizens who pay taxes to a state. Israel, we are now in captivity under “no-condition” conditions. You are killing us. Do you want to kill us all? You want the army to kill us? Isn’t it enough that you slaughtered everyone? Isn’t it enough for you that there were Israeli citizens killed? Release us now. Release their citizens and prisoners now. Release us. Release everyone. We deserve to go back to our families, now now now."
