Two Fox journalists kidnapped two weeks ago in Gaza have been released, according to the Palestinian news service Ramattan and Fox News.

The release came shortly after the broadcast of a video in which the journalists read statements saying they have embraced Islam with the Prophet Mohammed as their leader.

The video, initially aired Sunday by Ramattan, showed Fox reporter Steve Centanni and photographer Olaf Wiig, both appearing to be in good health.

Two FOX News journalists were released Sunday, nearly two weeks after being seized by militants in Gaza.

First footage showed the two, Olaf Wiig and Steve Centanni, being dropped off at Gaza City's Beach Hotel. Centanni, of the U.S., embraced someone in the lobby, before both men were rushed upstairs.

Wiig, 36, of New Zealand, wore a white T-shirt, rather than the beige Islamic robe in which he appeared in a hostage video just hours earlier.
