The Canadian government has said it is trying to verify reports that one of its citizens has been kidnapped in Syria.

The woman was believed to be helping Kurdish militias in the fight against Islamic State, according to Haaretz.

It cites a blog used by the extremist organisation, which claims a 31-year-old Canadian-Israeli had been taken captive.

Israel has banned its people from travelling to countries deemed as enemy states, including Iraq and Syria.

When asked about the reports, Moshe Ya'alon, Israel's Defence Minister, said "I cannot confirm that and I hope that it isn't true."
