Video clips purporting to show the torture of Palestinian civilians by the Hamas militia in the Gaza Strip from 2018 to 2020 were published on Sunday by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The IDF said the material was found during its operations in the area and revealed “serious abuses committed by the terrorist organization Hamas against the civilian population,” along with human rights abuses and repression of those opposed to the regime.
The videos allegedly show torture carried out by Hamas operatives in the so-called “Outpost 17” in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza Strip.
The material shows people with bags over their heads, tied up, sometimes in twisted and painful positions. One of the men is hung from the ceiling by his feet and beaten on the soles of his feet with a stick.
The victims reportedly include political opponents of Hamas, suspected collaborators with Israel, suspected adulterers and homosexuals.
