The statement mentioned, "An Israeli settler and her two children have been released after their detention during the recent clashes," as reported by the AFP news agency.
Various Israeli channels have conflicting accounts, with some stating that the release took place on Saturday and may be an attempt by Hamas to improve its international image.
Over five days, the continuous Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of more than 1,050 people, including hundreds of civilians, and the injuries of over 5,000 others in Gaza, according to the Gaza health ministry.
