Militants of the al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas announced the release of an Israeli woman with two children. About it reported Al Jazeera TV channel.
Al Jazeera explains that the footage, taken from afar, shows a woman and children, as well as men (presumably Hamas militants). The woman and children are in an open area near the fence, which is most likely the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli side has not yet made any comments on this matter.
The channel notes that there are few details in the Israeli media about the alleged release. Some publications suggest that this was a “media stunt.” Others say the release happened earlier and Hamas is trying to improve its international image.
On the morning of October 7, Hamas militants attacked the army’s border units and freely entered Israeli populated areas, where they captured an unknown number of hostages, both military and civilian.
October 9 Reuters wrotethat the militants captured Israelis with dual citizenship, including Russian. The number of hostages was not specified. Later Hamas reported on establishing contacts with Moscow for negotiations on prisoners. We are talking about “dozens of people with dual citizenship,” said Musa Abu-Marzuk, a member of the Hamas Politburo.
The head of the group’s external relations department, Basem Naim, said that the hostages would be safe. At the same time, the official representative of the military wing of the movement, Abu Ubaida threatened kill prisoners if Israel does not stop attacks on the Gaza Strip.
