Shackled and whipped: IDF releases harrowing Hamas torture videos in Gaza
More than a year into the Israel-Gaza war, the IDF released on Sunday harrowing footage alleged to show Hamas operatives interrogating and torturing Palestinian detainees.
The footage, captured by CCTV cameras inside a Hamas base known as Outpost 17 in the Jabaliya refugee camp and found on computers seized during an Israeli raid in March, reportedly includes thousands of hours of interrogation sessions.
The military has released a 46-minute clip, available here, showing some of the alleged abuse. Viewer discretion is advised.
The footage, dated from 2018 to 2020, depicts detainees in distressing conditions, including being chained to floors and ceilings with bags over their heads. In one video, a man is shown crying out in pain. Another segment reportedly shows a Hamas operative leisurely reclining in a chair with his hands behind his head as a prisoner is seen handcuffed and hanging from the ceiling beside him. A third clip shows a man brutally tied up with a red sack over his head. One of the guards is later seen strangling the man.
