The video shows one captive in a car being driven through a neighbourhood with destroyed buildings, calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to carry out a planned military assault to occupy Gaza City.
Israeli media identified him as Guy Gilboa Dalal, who was attending the Nova music festival in southern Israel on 7 October 2023.
In the video released on Friday, he says in Hebrew that he is in Gaza City and that the footage was filmed on 28 August 2025.
Towards the end of the clip, he is shown meeting another captive, who was not not be identified.
In February, Hamas published a video showing two Israelis, including Gilboa Dalal, in a vehicle watching a captive release ceremony during a brief ceasefire.
Target Gaza City
On Friday, Israeli airstrikes and bombardment killed 51 Palestinians in Gaza, including 36 in Jabalia and Gaza City in the northern strip.
Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said Israeli strikes hit buildings and tents housing displaced Gazans in several neighbourhoods and on the outskirts of Gaza City.

Since mid-August, Israel has stepped up its bombardment of Gaza City to capture it and ethnically cleanse more than one million residents to the south of the strip.
Israeli occupation army spokesman said on Thursday that the start of the campaign would not be announced to "maintain the element of surprise."
The Israeli army assault to take over Gaza City has been widely condemned by regional and international powers.
It also faces growing opposition among families of Israeli captives and their supporters inside Israel, who argue that more bombing of Gaza City would result in the killing of at least 20 captives believed to be alive in the strip.
PM Netanyahu has refused to respond to a 60-day truce/prisoner swap proposal, mediated by Egypt and Qatar, that was previously agreed to by Israel and accepted by Hamas on 18 August.
The Israeli genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 64,231 Palestinians and wounded more than 160,000, most of them women and children, according to figures from the health ministry.
Death by starvation
Meanwhile, the health authorities in Gaza said on Friday three more Palestinians died from starvation and acute malnutrition due to the Israeli blockade on the strip.
This brings up the number of Palestinians who died of starvation since the start of the Israeli war and blockade in October 2023 to nearly 380, including more than 130 children.
Last month, the United Nations said more than a million people are facing famine in and around Gaza City.
