GAZA/JERUSALEM, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), appeared to have release an Israeli female prisoner and her two children, according to Al Jazeera TV channel on Wednesday.

The TV channel published a short video showing Al-Qassam Brigades fighters accompanying an Israeli female prisoner and two children, who were captured during the group's surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, back to Israel.

Then, the Al-Qassam Brigades fighters withdrew to the Gaza Strip.

There have been no comments yet from Israel on the video footage, while Israel's Channel 12 news also confirmed that the footage was apparently filmed on Saturday, hours after Hamas launched an attack on Israel.

On Saturday, Hamas launched a sudden military operation against Israel, firing thousands of rockets at Israeli cities.

Meanwhile, dozens of its militants infiltrated southern Israeli towns and opened fires at Israeli settlers, killing some of them and capturing others.

Unofficial estimates and Palestinian observers indicate that around 300 people have been abducted from Israel to the Gaza Strip since Saturday. Enditem
