Israel Publishes Video It Says Shows Hamas Torturing and Executing Palestinians in Gaza

Officials say the scenes undercut prospects for Hamas disarmament required under President Trump's peace plan.

Overview

  • The Israeli Foreign Ministry released graphic clips showing masked gunmen dragging men through streets, beating them, and executing at least one person in broad daylight.
  • Israel says the assailants are Hamas operatives targeting suspected dissenters or collaborators in a bid to reassert control during a fragile ceasefire.
  • The ministry urged global media to give the footage prominent coverage, calling it difficult viewing and a threat to regional security.
  • Palestinian Authority officials echoed Israel's claim that the videos indicate Hamas will not lay down its weapons or relinquish power.
  • President Trump condemned attacks on civilians and said several Middle Eastern allies are prepared to intervene if the violence continues.
