Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAl Jazeera is broadcasting footage of what it says is a woman and her two children being released from Hamas captivity.
The video is apparently from Saturday, at the height of Hamas’s attack on southern communities, rather than a new video.
The video shows a woman in a blue and pink jacket walking toward a child and the two embracing, as gunmen walk away. She is said to be holding a second child.
They appear to be near the Gaza border fence.
