Israeli army strip Palestinian men and children in latest Hamas sweep
Dozens of Palestinians, including some who appeared to be minors, have been rounded up in a football stadium and stripped to their underwear in the latest attempts to filter suspected Hamas operatives.
Footage showed predominantly men stepping onto the pitch and sitting in rows with hands held aloft as IDF soldiers in full military gear watched on.
Similar footage from Gaza triggered outrage when released earlier this month, with critics denouncing the Israeli military for its tactics they said humiliated Palestinians.
Some Israeli security officials berated the army for releasing the photos, saying strip searches could have been carried out in a more discrete manner.
The Israeli military later said only 15-20 percent of the people captured there were arrested for having links to Hamas.
The latest images show elderly men among the captives, and at least two people in the back row appear to be in their early teens or younger.
Another shot of the stadium also showed a man in a wheelchair.
A UN commissioner warned in October that the population of Gaza was becoming “dehumanised” due to relentless bombing and lack of basic utilities.

Arabs being humiliated AGAIN wow this is so painful for them and the arab world hahaha
Don’t forget ! they aren’t boys scouts ! They are fanatic terrorists.
stripped because they can't be trusted…simple
Go IDF!
They look well fed. So either the food shortage is a lie or they are Hamas.
Zero sympathy for Palestinians. They own this..
Propaganda negara bodoh. Tentara popok
If Hamas didn’t hide amongst civilians, this wouldn’t happen. Israeli soldiers have no choice. For all they know, if they allowed them to be fully dressed, Hamas would hide bombs and weapons under their clothes. Hamas doesn’t exactly play fair, and they love using civilians to blend with
Israel should identify how many of this persons take part in terrorist activities.
Give this world back to God, Jesus is the only way
Bro isreal at this point are trying to humiliate palestine besides based on history palestine was here before isreal can and toke its current land since 1948
Western tradition of genicide
Good. The Telegraph is happy
Clearly never heard of the Geneva Convention
After initially stripping prisoners and by that clearing them of carrying weapons and/or explosive devices, not allowing them to dress is just a sick power play and humiliation game.
What comes around goes around
So. big deal.
Erinnert mich sehr an KZ
Yep, thsts a safety measure that is well known to be used by many different armys around the world. Nothing strange.
Normal practice to strip prisoners…the police do the same…to check for weapons…
Innocent, defenseless citizens. The Israeli army will not be able to capture a single fighter from the Palestinian factions because they are fighting for their land occupied by the Israelis.
They make them take off their clothes because they may carry explosive belts and weapons under their clothes. Some men even wear women's clothes to escape.
I think they meant to say stripped hamas terrorists.
They do whatever they like…and. they expect no retaliation…
they can not go for the fighters. bunch of cowards 😄
The telegram cut the video that showed they were tortured !! sick as IDF
AND THE ATROCSITIES OF THE BUTCHER OF GAZA CONTINUES….ALL ZIONISTS WHO SUPPORT IT ARE GUILTY MONSTERS AS WELL….
Thats the least savety measure
Clearly they are eating well
Never wear underwear with holes 😂
I find it strange people saying its normal practice to strip prisoners, when we watched the Ukrainians surrendering at Mariupol the Russians didn't strip the prisoners.
Some firemen facing a break in with a day care facility nearby? What a horrific scene. A horrific scene made possible through conscription of men into the military. The military instead of training firemen properly. I feel sad a lot about what is wrong with the world. For those going through it while worrying about maybe loosing their homes and having no clothes to wear and enough to eat thanks to way too many bullies around with their own gun to own. We women should have the right to use martial arts and street fighting techniques to fight our way to the door too however I would rather wait until everybody in control is at work before finding the door and a better way to safety for good.
they still wear shorts,even maybe some are terrorists
telegraphe are terrorist
US did this to Japanese POVs, nothing new
Why does this channel love jew genocide?
These are a WAR , not a game , gulty , hammas , hezbolah , Iran the big poisonus snake , used fools , muslim washed their heads , convinced will be martyrs for HALLAH to these people , childs , seniors , womans , against free world , mentallity of pass century
They are just uninvolved doctors, journalists, rapists and murderers, what do they want from them?
Really? it's for safety, they can easily hide a bomb or a weapon. The telegraph became a lampoon
And this is so terrible 😢?
Allah has placed the success and peace of the people of the whole world only in Islam ❤
At least they aren't being raped and beheaded .
Stripped to their shorts but allowed to keep cell phones?🤨🤔
It is important. Terrorists hide the bombs and weapons anywhere in the name of Allah the Satan.
They have to make sure they don’t have bombs on them! That’s the Palestinians fault!
I see israel has adopted those idiotic Cope Cages for their tanks that the Russians started using when Ukrainian drones were killing their tanks. Apparently nobody in IDF watches Ukrainian drone footage showing those damn things do literally nothing, not even against drone bombs which they were originally intended for. UA forces time and again destroy tanks with drones, even ones using those stupid cope cages that only succeed in increasing the tank's targeting profile.
So no ones getting betten or raped then..
Stop genocide in gaza
No more support for Israel here.
Israel always had the power to do this, it’s a shame that it had to happen
