Hamas' Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades has published footage purportedly showing their members releasing an Israeli woman and her children who they said were held in custody during clashes in an Israeli communal settlement.
The footage was aired by Al Jazeera and showed Qassam members releasing a woman towards a child and then leaving the area.
The woman and the child are then seen walking the opposite direction, while the woman was carrying a toddler in her arms, according to Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera said the footage was filmed in Kibbutz Holit communal settlement, located roughly 5 km from the boundary separating Gaza and Israel.
Middle East Eye could not independently verify the accuracy of the video or the claim.
