A Telegram channel run by a Gaza native based in Turkey publishes a video showing armed, masked men shooting a man in the leg in the middle of a street in the Gaza Strip.
According to the channel, the gunmen are Hamas operatives, and the footage was filmed in the western part of the Strip.
During the war, Hamas members have regularly shot Gazans in the legs, accusing them either of collaborating with Israel or of stealing humanitarian aid.
In the past 24 hours, since the ceasefire came into effect, media outlets affiliated with Hamas have released footage of Hamas police forces redeploying in the streets of Gaza.
From the footage, it appears that their numbers are not large, although the BBC reports that some 7,000 have been given mobilization orders.
In the footage, some of the officers appear without uniforms, although all of them are masked.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
