Qassam Brigades release photo of alleged Israeli soldier captured in Jabalia tunnel ambush

 The armed wing of the Hamas movement, al-Qassam Brigades, released a photo they say is of one of the Israeli soldiers captured last week in the Jabalia tunnel ambush.

The group shared the photo on their Telegram page. 

Abu Obaida, the spokesperson for the brigades, released a message last week saying several Israeli soldiers had been captured. His message was followed by a video released by the group showing fighters pulling inside a tunnel a man who appeared to be unconscious. He was pulled alongside military gear. 

The video separately showed three semi-automatic rifles and other military gear that Hamas said were taken from the captured Israelis. 

Middle East Eye could not independently verify when or where the video was filmed. 

The Israeli army denied that any soldiers had been captured in the Jabalia tunnel operations.
