An Israeli campaign group on Wednesday released footage of five Israeli female soldiers being captured by Palestinian militants from a military base during Hamas's October 7 attack, after their families gave permission, reports BSS.

The three-minute clip showed the women sitting on the ground, some with blood on their faces, with their hands tied following their capture from the Nahal Oz base in southern Israel.

"The footage reveals the violent, humiliating, and traumatising treatment the girls endured on the day of their abduction, their eyes filled with raw terror," the forum said as it released the footage to the media.

Towards the end of the clip, the women are seen being taken away by militants in a military jeep amid screams.

"It's time to act, otherwise the blood of my sister and other hostages will be on the hands" of the Israeli authorities, Sasha Ariev, sister of one of the seized soldiers, told AFP.

"Everyone has now seen these young girls taken captive in their pyjamas... the only victory is to bring them back quickly and alive."

After the base was stormed by Hamas militants on October 7, more than 50 Israeli soldiers were killed in the attack, 15 of whom were women.

Seven female soldiers were taken hostage and one has since been freed in an Israeli military operation, while the body of another was found and brought to Israel.

Hamas said the video footage was "manipulated" with a selection of images aimed at supporting "false allegations" to "tarnish the image of the resistance".

Some of the soldiers were bleeding or sustained minor injuries, "but there was no physical aggression against any of them", the Palestinian Islamist movement said in a statement.
