Hamas released a video on Sunday of three Israeli prisoners – including Nova rave participant Noa Argamani, who became the face of the hostage crisis after footage showed her being dragged away on a motorcycle.
The video included a disturbing teaser: “Tomorrow we will inform you of her fate.”
Argamani, 26, and his fellow hostages Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38, were seen for the first time since their abduction on October 7 in the video released by the terror group.
It was unclear when the video was filmed.
But as with other hostage-taking videos released by Hamas, the trio introduce themselves and ask the Israeli government to do everything possible to ensure their safe return.
They conclude with a message to the Israeli people saying: “Your government is lying.”
The worrying development came after Hamas claimed it had lost contact with “many” of its hostages following Israeli bombings in the Gaza Strip, suggesting they may have been killed.
Noa Argamani, 26, appeared on video for the first time since her abduction by Hamas on October 7. The world watched in horror as Argamani cried out to her friend as she was carried away on a motorcycle by terrorists attacking the Supernova Rave on October 7. Hamas' latest propaganda videos tell viewers that the fate of Argamani and two other hostages will be revealed on Monday.
The video did not elaborate on the condition of the three hostages, who were among an estimated 250 taken during the brutal terrorist attack on October 7.
Argamani was seen in one of the first Hamas videos of the attack, screaming “Don't kill me!” as she was carried away on the back seat of a motorcycle.
The picture showed the sobbing hostage trying to get in touch with her friend Avinatan Or, who was abused by the terrorists before they also arrested him.
Argamani was among the hundreds of festival-goers whose lives changed forever when Hamas gunmen invaded Israel on October 7. LIora Argamani has asked the world to help free her daughter and reunite her family before she succumbs to terminal brain cancer.
The shocking video went viral on social media and quickly became one of the most iconic scenes from the attack on the Supernova rave, which left more than 360 festival-goers dead.
Argamani drew international attention after Netanyahu revealed he had asked Beijing for help on behalf of the hostage's mother, Liora, who is a Chinese citizen.
Liora, who has terminal brain cancer, has asked Israel and China to help reunite her family before she dies of her disease.

She also sent a heartbreaking letter to President Biden in December also asking for America's help, causing CNN anchor John Oz to sob as he read the message on air.
“I am terminally ill with stage four brain cancer. “All that’s on my mind before I part ways with my family forever is the chance to hug my daughter, my only child, one last time,” Liora wrote.
Sharabi was kidnapped along with his brother Eli, 51, when their homes in Kibbutz Be'eri were attacked by Hamas during the Sukkot holiday.

The new Hamas propaganda video also featured 38-year-old Itay Svirsky.
Eli's wife and two teenage daughters, along with their dog, were confirmed to be among the dead at the kibbutz after their home was set on fire, the Times of Israel reported.
Svirsky, from Tel Aviv, was also in Be'eri visiting his parents when he was kidnapped by Hamas. Days later, the bodies of his mother and father were found.
More than 130 hostages remain trapped in Gaza, with the Jewish state believing around 25 are the bodies of Israeli citizens that Hamas has refused to hand over.
