Speaking to the Kan public radio, IDF spokesman Ran Kochav says the army is evaluating the authenticity of a video released earlier today by Hamas said to be of Israeli captive Avera Mengistu.
“We are looking into this video. I hope the video is authentic and that Mengistu is in full health. It’s hard for me to say what level of credibility the video has,” he tells the network.
