Israel Unveils Shocking Footage of Hamas Torturing Palestinians
Jerusalem, 10 November, 2024 (TPS) -- Hamas operatives tortured Palestinian civilians for years, as the Israeli military on Sunday released a portion of what it said was thousands of hours CCTV footage soldiers found in Gaza.
The 45-minute video released by the Israel Defense Forces showed chained Palestinians with bags covering their heads. Prisoners were bound in various positions to a chain attached to the ceiling, beaten and interrogated.
“The materials uncovered expose Hamas’s brutal methods for interrogating civilians, violating human rights, and systematically oppressing residents suspected of opposing the organization’s rule,” the Israel Defense Forces said. “The videos, entrusted to members of Hamas’s security apparatus, document Hamas activities at Outpost 17 in the Gaza Strip, where brutal interrogations of civilians suspected of opposing Hamas are conducted.”
Time stamps on the footage indicated the scenes were filmed between 2018-2020, the army said.
At least 1,200 people were killed, and 252 Israelis and foreigners were taken hostage in Hamas’s attacks on Israeli communities near the Gaza border on October 7. Of the 97 remaining hostages, more than 30 have been declared dead. Hamas has also been holding captive two Israeli civilians since 2014 and 2015, and the bodies of two soldiers killed in 2014.
