Captives' families demand deal after latest video

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has called on the Israeli government to strike a deal to secure the release of captives held in Gaza, following a video released by Hamas of one, Nadav Popplewell.

The Hamas military wing said earlier today that Popplewell had died of wounds sustained in an Israeli air strike over a month ago.

"Every sign of life received from the hostages held by Hamas is another cry of distress to the Israeli government and its leaders," the families group said in a statement.

"We don't have a moment to spare! You must strive to implement a deal that will bring them all back today."
