Hamas airs video of Israeli hostages, says will disclose their fate

Hamas aired a video on Sunday showing three Israeli hostages it is holding in Gaza appealing to their government to stop the offensive against the Palestinian Islamist group and bring about their release, as both sides marked the 100th day of the war.

The 37-second video of Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itay Svirsky, 38, talking in Hebrew and calling on the Israeli authorities to act for their return home, ended with the chyron: "Tomorrow we will inform you of their fate."

It was unclear when the footage was filmed.

Hamas said earlier on Sunday it had lost contact with some hostages amid Israeli shelling of Gaza which, it said, may have killed them.
