The Israeli army has shared video of it rounding up dozens of stripped Palestinian men, children and elderly in a stadium in Gaza.
A video, which was edited to upbeat techno music, surfaced on Monday Dec. 25 showing several shots of Israeli soldiers ordering dozens of Palestinian men, who were stripped to their underwear and had their hands tied behind their back, around a Yarmouk Stadium in Gaza.
The video, which was Quds News reported was an Israeli photojournalist, showed Israeli tanks and soldiers pointing their guns at the men, who are seen walking into the field in a line with their hands up in the air.
In one of the shots, a young boy can be seen among the half-naked men.
In another shot, an elderly man is also visible.
The video ends with an Israeli soldier carrying a baby in a blanket.
Rights group Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said on Dec. 20 that it had documented several cases of the Israeli army conducting field executions in the Gaza Strip.
The group obtained testimonies of the Israeli army raiding homes and opening fire at Palestinians for no reason and said it had submitted a primary report to the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.
This is not the first time Israeli forces have shared videos of themselves rounding up and stripping Palestinian civilian men.
Earlier in November, a video also went viral showing Israeli soldiers rounding up dozens of stripped civilian men – which witnesses said included children as young as 13, journalists and UN workers – from two UN-run schools serving as shelters in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, before abducting them.
When asked about the footage on a Sky News, senior Israeli advisor Mark Regev said that the Israeli military had been looking for people who would have concealed weapons.
He also said it’s warm in the Middle East and that he is not familiar with international humanitarian law, the rules of war.
