Jerusalem, Israel - May 11, 2025 - Hamas is reportedly expected to announce the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander tonight, Walla reported on Sunday.
Alexander's parents confirmed the development to Channel 12, stating, "We are waiting for Hamas's announcement, and [US envoy Steve] Witkoff updated us that this is expected to happen."
Hamas published a propaganda video of Alexander before Passover, which his family allowed for publication.
In April, Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades claimed to have lost contact with the group that is holding Edan Alexander following a direct strike at their location, their spokesman, Abu Obeida, said.
“We announce that we have lost contact with the team guarding soldier Edan Alexander following a direct Israeli bombardment targeting their location. We are still trying to reach them,” said Obeida.
This is a developing story.
