For the first time since its attack on the Jewish state, Hamas claims to have released hostages. “An Israeli settler woman and her two children were released after being detained during the clashes” between the movement and the Israeli army, writes the armed wing of the movement, in a press release made public Wednesday October 11 in the evening.

A video, broadcast immediately by the Palestinian television channel Al-Aqsa, shows a woman in a blue shirt with two children and three armed Hamas fighters walking away from a barbed area. The Israeli army has not yet confirmed this information. The date and location of the release were not specified.

Hamas threatened Monday evening to execute Israeli hostages in response to strikes on the Gaza Strip. “Every time our people are targeted without warning, it will result in the execution of one of the civilian hostages”, he threatened. According to the Israeli government, nearly 150 people were kidnapped.
