CAIRO – 23 May 2024: The Palestinian Resistance Movement, Hamas, announced on Thursday that the video footage circulating on Israeli media, purportedly showing the capture of Israeli female soldiers on October 7, is fragmented and manipulated. According to the movement, this clip is another attempt by the occupation forces to discredit Hamas fighters, following their failure to distort their image through previous fabricated narratives. Some of the female soldiers displayed minor injuries or traces of blood, which are typical outcomes in such operations due to the chaotic nature of stampeding. Instead, they showed a dialogue between the fighters and the female soldiers without any signs of assault or violence. Recent pictures and scenes from the prisoner exchange unequivocally demonstrate the respectful treatment received by the female soldiers from the resistance in Gaza.
