Gazan detained by IDF: We waited for you to free us from Hamas tyranny, our children are dying of hunger

Channel 12 airs a video ostensibly leaked by an IDF source showing a group of Palestinians stripped and bound after being detained by the Israeli military in northern Gaza.

One of the detainees is heard telling the troops, “For 17 years, we’ve lived under tyranny,” ostensibly referring to Hamas.

“When you arrived, we remained in our homes because we live in peace and love peace. If we were guilty of something, we would have left our homes and fled, but we live in our homes in peace,” he says.

“I swear to God, we waited for you to free us from the tyranny.”

But now, he says, “our children are hungry, our wives are begging on the street for food. Our wives have started eating scraps. Our children have died in front of our eyes due to hunger. There’s no water. I’m sick and I cannot get any medical care.”

“You know what the situation is like in Gaza. Everything has turned upside down on us,” the man continues.

“Whose fault is that?” asks one of the soldiers filming the clip.

“Because of Hamas! Because of Hamas!” several of the detained Gazans shout.
