Hamas on Saturday released video footage of hostages Keith Siegel and Omri Miran that show they are still alive. 

In an edited three-minute video, both Siegel, a U.S. citizen, and Miran said that they are hoping for a hostage deal that would be able to set them and others free, according to The Times of Israel.

While the video is not dated, Miran says he has been in captivity for 202 days while Siegel mentioned the Passover holiday, indicating the videos were shot recently. 

In the video footage, Siegel is seen crying while Miran is seen praying, according to the New York Post.  

Hamas has posted similar videos before.  

Siegel was abducted on Oct. 7 by Hamas and taken along with his wife from their home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. She was released in November in the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. 

The Oct. 7 attack killed over 1,200 people and resulted in Israel declaring war on Hamas.
