Overview
- Footage circulating online appears to show about eight blindfolded men shot in public, with some gunmen wearing green headbands associated with Hamas.
- Hamas described those killed as criminals and collaborators with Israel, a claim that has not been independently verified.
- The videos surfaced shortly after a new ceasefire and peace deal took effect, following Israeli withdrawals from parts of the Strip.
- Rival Palestinian clans condemned the killings as criminal, with reports of Hamas redeployments and clashes in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood.
- Political fallout deepened as Israeli families protested that only four bodies from 28 hostages who died were returned, while President Trump was quoted as allowing Hamas temporary internal security authority.
