The IDF Spokesperson has clarified that no soldier had been abducted after Hamas claimed it had kidnapped a soldier in Jabalya, in the northern Gaza Strip.

“The IDF clarifies that there is no incident in which a soldier was abducted,” said the IDF in a statement.

A spokesman for Hamas claimed it had captured Israeli soldiers during fighting in Jabalya in northern Gaza on Saturday, a claim the IDF denied.

Hamas did not say how many soldiers had been abducted and showed no proof of the claim.

“Our fighters lured a Zionist force into an ambush inside a tunnel…The fighters withdrew after they left all members of the force dead, wounded, and captured,” Abu Ubaida, the spokesman for Al Qassam Brigades, said in a recorded message broadcast by Al Jazeera.

Hamas released a video that appeared to show a bloodied person being dragged along the ground in a tunnel, along with photos of military uniform and a rifle. Reuters could not independently verify the identity of the person shown in the video nor his or her condition.
