The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced they have uncovered thousands of hours of disturbing footage showing Hamas personnel torturing Palestinian detainees within Gaza.
According to the IDF, the videos depict harrowing scenes of prisoners being interrogated, some with sacks over their heads and chained in contorted positions on floors and ceilings, reportedly recorded on CCTV cameras within a Hamas military base in northern Gaza.

Israeli forces allegedly discovered these recordings during a raid on the compound in the Jabalia refugee camp earlier this year.

The graphic footage includes scenes of prisoners suffering severe beatings, especially on the soles of their feet, while guards appear relaxed or disinterested, sometimes conversing as the torture continues.
In one clip, a prisoner is seen chained to the ceiling with a red sack over his head, struggling to stand. One guard is seen choking a detainee, while another interrogator sits back, watching the events unfold.
An Israeli military source stated that the videos were retrieved from computers seized in March, and it took several months to process and examine the content.
While independent verification of the footage is unavailable, human rights organizations have long reported on Hamas’s history of brutal treatment toward certain groups in Gaza.

Past reports have documented the organization’s use of torture and abduction against individuals suspected of opposing its authority or collaborating with Israel.
Hamas has been accused of targeting groups including political opponents, gay men, and suspected collaborators, who face imprisonment, torture, or even death under its rule.
Amnesty International previously detailed similar abuses in a report following the 2014 conflict between Israel and Hamas, citing an organized campaign of violence, intimidation, and torture against individuals within Gaza.
The footage allegedly captured by the IDF appears to align with these past reports, showing abuse that dates from 2018 to 2020 based on timestamps visible in the videos.
The same civilians that Hamas outspokenly claimed to be fighting for, are the same civilians being tortured in this video.

Among those who have shared their experiences of abuse under Hamas is Abdul, a gay Palestinian man who fled Gaza to escape the group’s rule. He described instances of severe torture, including beatings and deprivation of food and sleep, stating, “They made me swear on the Koran that I won't be gay again.”
Similarly, Hamza Howidy, a former resident of Gaza, reported being detained for protesting Hamas’s rule, recounting how he was tortured until he “broke and [said] whatever it is they wanted.”
Howidy, who eventually fled Gaza, highlighted the challenges he faced, saying, “Hamas controls everything,” and sharing that detainees often had no access to legal assistance, with families kept in the dark regarding their loved ones’ fates.
The IDF’s footage also sheds light on methods reportedly employed by Hamas interrogators, including electric shocks and melting plastic on prisoners' skin.
Some detainees were allegedly executed or died from being dragged by vehicles, and their families were denied proper burials.
Former Israeli intelligence officer Guy C. told The Mail on Sunday that Yahya Sinwar, a senior Hamas leader recently killed by Israeli forces, was known for his fixation on rooting out suspected collaborators, holding “thousands against their will.”
Human rights expert Ahmed Fouad Alkharib, now based in the United States, described torture as “a fundamental component of Hamas' governance strategy” to enforce control through fear.
According to Alkharib, the group’s tactics aim to silence dissent within Gaza, often involving extreme physical and psychological abuse to intimidate those who might oppose Hamas's rule.
Israel’s latest findings expose longstanding accusations against Hamas and reinforce concerns over the group’s governance tactics within Gaza, where residents face severe repression for perceived dissent or opposing lifestyles.
Despite widespread reports of such abuses, global narratives on Hamas remain divided, with some groups characterizing them as freedom fighters, while critics argue that Hamas continues to hold the people of Gaza hostage under a regime of fear and violence.

The Soviet Bolshevik Jhews that murdered 100 million Russian Christians said EXACTLY the same thing about the Germans after WW2, accusing them of murdering the entire Polish Officer Corps. Turns out it was the Soviet Bolshevik/Zyonyst Jhews that murdered the Polish Officer Corps, and not the Germans, the truth brought to light after the Soviet Union fell and the RECORDS were finally let out. They used this and other fabricated lies to carry out the Nuremburg Executions – based upon those lies – covering up their own criimes by blaming and accusing others – making up the PROPAGANDA terms like “anti-semitic” to shut down any avenue of real discussion to the truth. This is their typical mode of operations – possessing TOTAL MEDIA CONTROL the past 120+ years – enablong them to achieve great deceptions and Indoctrinate the masses with BS. They are exactly what Jesus says they are in the book of Revelation. Their Tal:mudic Doctrine of demons proves that beyond the comprehension of most bread and circuses Indoctrinated dupes – igniorant of the fact they possess no Hebrew genetics WHATSOVEVER has been proven by the same themselves witrh gentics surveys – and Henry Ford’s Investigations in the 1920’s. Continue to follow your Rothschild-created Scofield Bible, Jesus may let you be carried away to a Lake of Fire as well – where EVERY LIAR will have their place – even those who just REPEAT those lies.
Where is the PRUSSIAN BLUE at Auschwitz or ANYWHERE else claimed to be a “gas chamber?” It does not exist, and it never did. If Zyklon B had ever been used, traces would be SATURATED into the walls – like it is where it is suppose to be, in the TYPHUS eradication gas chambers for the lenins and clothing of the LABOR CAMP workers. You have been deceived, to say the least. Now you are part of and accxompice to their crimes agaionst Humanity – oh yes – these ARE the “tares among the wheat.” Best be figuring out how that is. All by lies.
