Hamas releases video of man identified as Israeli hostage

The Palestinian militant group Hamas on Saturday released a video of a purported hostage held in Gaza whom Israeli media identified as Maxim Herkin.

The video is reportedly undated and edited, however, the man makes references to Israel’s Independence Day, which took place last week.

Reports have it that the man also identifies himself as among the 59 hostages in Gaza.

Recall that the Palestinian militant group has regularly released videos of hostages over the course of the war.

Meanwhile, in the past, Israeli officials have dismissed such videos as propaganda that is designed to put pressure on the government.
