Gaza war
Army releases videos supposedly showing Hamas torture
Black bags over their heads, tied in painful positions and suspended from the ceiling by their feet: video footage shows severe abuse. It is said to be Hamas torture.
The Israeli army has released video footage purporting to show torture of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip by the Islamist Hamas several years ago. The military said the footage apparently dates from 2018 to 2020 and was found during ground operations by army and secret service troops.
It proves “serious mistreatment of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip by the terrorist organization Hamas”, violations of human rights and systematic oppression.
The videos show torture in the so-called “Outpost 17” in Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip by members of the Hamas security apparatus.
The footage shows people with black bags over their heads, tied up and sometimes forced into painfully twisted positions. One of the men is suspended from the ceiling by his feet and is being beaten on the soles of his feet with a stick. According to media reports, the torture victims were political opponents, suspected collaborators with Israel, suspected adulterers and homosexuals. Hamas initially did not comment on the allegations.
