Israel Releases Videos Showing Hamas Brutality Against Gazans

Israel's Defense Ministry, through its Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), has released disturbing videos depicting Hamas operatives brutally abusing, beating, and shooting at Gaza residents. Major General Ghassan Alian, head of COGAT, described Hamas as embodying 'the essence of evil,' emphasizing that these actions reveal the terror organization's oppressive rule over Gaza through violence, fear, and cruelty. The footage, which has circulated widely on social media, shows tied-up men being beaten with rods and guns fired at them, highlighting human rights abuses against the civilian population. Alian addressed both the international community and Gaza residents, underscoring that Hamas does not represent the people of Gaza and uses such brutality to maintain its power and suppress dissent. The videos aim to counter Hamas's narrative that focuses on food insecurity and portray the group instead as an authoritarian force preying on its own population. This revelation intensifies the global discourse on the conflict and the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
