Families of Israeli captives have agreed to publish pictures showing five female Israeli soldiers alive in Gaza.
- The captives were among about 240 people taken on October 7 in the unprecedented Hamas-led assault against communities in southern Israel that killed more than 1,100 people, mostly civilians.
One of the images shows the captives sitting on mattresses on a room’s floor, some of them with bandages on their heads.
Another picture shows one of the women with a black eye.
The families told Israeli media that the photos were taken from a Hamas video retrieved by the Israeli army during an operation in Gaza.
It was given to the families more than a month ago.
A family member told the Israeli Broadcasting Authority that the current physical conditions of the five captives is not clear.
Another member told the Times of Israel that she knew that the women were later separated.
