The Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement's military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, has released a video, which purportedly shows a suspected hostage in the Gaza Strip.
The video shared on their official Telegram channel shows the woman, who identified herself as 21-year-old Mia Schem, with a wound on her arm receiving medical treatment and addressing the camera directly.
She said she was taken from Sderot, a small Israeli city near the Gaza border.
"Please get me out of here as soon as possible," she said in Hebrew.
It is unclear where, when, and under what circumstances the short video was filmed. DW News could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.
Abu Obeideh, spokesman for the al-Qassam Brigades, said in a televised statement earlier Monday that some foreign hostages would be released by the group “when conditions are ripe."
