Army releases video showing Hamas abusing inmates at Gaza City prison

The IDF releases new security camera footage it says was recovered at a Hamas prison in Gaza City’s upscale Rimal neighborhood, where members of the Palestinian terror group’s internal security forces can be seen abusing prisoners.

In the video, the Hamas operatives can be seen escorting a blindfolded prisoner on his knees into the facility, before throwing him down a set of stairs and violently beating him.

The clip separately shows a prisoner lying on the ground in a small cell that’s not much larger than his body, with the military saying he was being held in a suffocating room while in solitary confinement.

“Hamas attempts to distance itself from the Assad regime and the atrocities exposed in Syrian prisons, but the footage and previous revelations about Hamas’ torture investigations leave no room for doubt—Hamas is equally ruthless,” a statement from the IDF says. “The cruelty of Hamas prison guards exposed in this footage can no longer be hidden or denied. These harrowing videos are a stark reminder of the merciless abuse, oppression, and human rights violations inflicted on Gaza’s residents by the Hamas regime.”
