TEL AVIV (Reuters) – Hamas on Saturday released a video purportedly of a hostage held in Gaza whom Israeli media identified as Maxim Herkin.

The video is undated and edited, however, the man makes references to Israel’s Independence Day, which took place last week, and identifies himself as among the 59 hostages in Gaza.

The Palestinian militant group has regularly released videos of hostages over the course of the war. Israeli officials have in the past dismissed such videos as propaganda that is designed to put pressure on the government.
