Palestinian media publishes footage said to show Hamas operatives beating residents in Gaza.
According to the reports, the incident took place overnight between Friday and Saturday in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City.
The reports say that following a dispute between a member of the al-Wahidi family and a Hamas operative, around 40 armed Hamas members arrived at the family’s building and assaulted residents, including women and children.
A family member filmed a video after the incident, saying: “I swear that even the Jews did not treat us [Gaza residents] with such humiliation. We are a respected family of Bedouin origin — a Bedouin takes revenge even after forty years and says he acted too soon. We will settle accounts with everyone.”
Hamas has not commented on the incident.
