Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, pictures have surfaced on social media showing several people being detained by Israel Defense Forces. These Hamas terrorists were seen on the road with their underwear off, blindfolded and sitting on their knees. Later, they were loaded onto a military vehicle.
Details about when and why these detentions occurred remain unclear. Some of those detained were identified as civilians with no ties to terrorist groups. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor shared a photo and reported that Israeli forces detained and abused several Palestinian civilians. These included doctors, educationists, journalists and elderly people.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not respond directly to the images circulated on social media. However, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari acknowledged the arrests during a press conference.
He said the IDF had arrested individuals, including Hamas militants, and was investigating to determine their affiliations. Hagari stressed the IDF’s commitment to destroying Hamas strongholds in the area until the mission is accomplished.
