Why Can't Gazans Leave?

And? Hostages were held in homes belonging to "ordinary" people

@backtowinter In addition to the rights worker, school director and UN worker there is said to be a journalist. It is certainly not yet clear who all these people are.

Wow!!! You know who they are and have already been sentenced by you!

If these were suicide bombers … wouldn’t they’ve killed themselves in front of to kill the enemy ?

you know for well this is not right. But I know you support Israel and what Israel does is perfect.

@backtowinter From the Guardian
The head of the Euro-Med human rights monitor said he recognised his friend among the detained Palestinian men in the footage being circulated by Israeli media.
Ramy Abdu, the chair of the Geneva-based rights group, said his friend Al-Kahlout was among the detainees, as well as the director of a school and a United Nations employee.

Agreed.

I'd been struggling to find the right words to post something that sounds superficially similar, but hopefully has a quite different intent. These people do not look like I would expect Hamas soldiers to look. They look middle aged and unfit. In other words, they look like most civilians (including myself).

Maybe these really are elite Hamas operatives. But I'd want a lot more proof than a few social media posts before I believed it. Regardless of the truth, they have been stripped naked and blindfolded, which is an abhorrent way to treat people who are at your mercy.

Seriously I feel sick to the stomach at some of these posts

Body shaming. Invasive

They're murdering raping terrorists

There is no proof of what you’re blaming these men to be so maybe once again keep your horrible opinions about other people’s bodies to yourself

I'm sorry you all found my comment offensive, and clearly MN agreed with you as they've deleted it

It was aimed at those denying these are captured terrorists, who have access to funds, food and water that ordinary Gazans (starving in an "open air prison") don't have.

What a horrible thing to say
Do you often body shame people?

Meanwhile, you are an apologist for Israeli warcrimes and the mass killing of babies and children. If you support this, you have no humanity.

Commenting on the bodies of men forced to strip and subjected to invasive body searches. Contributing to their humiliation. There really aren't words for that.

As all know Hamas and ISIS are well known for suicide bombing. It is very wise of the Israeli soldiers to ensure the terrorists remove their clothing so they can be sure no weapons are there. Israel is doing a very difficult job very well.

What a horrible comment

Just putting this here:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/07/israel-strikes-back-after-massive-palestinian-attack

Check out the guy standing on top of the tank to the left - SANDALS and no uniforms to be seen.

Disgusting pro-Hamas propaganda on this site.

No, this is absolutely not true ! The IDF have been rounding up all men and boys over 15, stripping them and kidnapping or executing them. They consist of doctors, lawyers, bakers, journalists etc. just normal men and young boys, this is a war crime !!
They are not Hamas, they are rounding them up from refugee centres, they are wearing sandals and sliders, no combat boots or uniforms to be seen. Do you not think if they were Hamas, they would show them in combat gear ??

Further update on those images and in particular about the journalist who was spotted in them from the BBC

The news outlet Al-Araby al-Jadeed has condemned what it describes as the "humiliating" detention of its Gaza correspondent Diaa Kahlout by Israeli forces earlier today.
In a statement, it said Kahlout's brothers, relatives and a large number of civilians were also detained by the Israeli forces in Beit Lahia, a city in the north of Gaza.
It adds soldiers forced them "to disrobe, and subjected them to invasive searches and humiliating treatment upon their arrest, prior to transporting them to undisclosed locations".
The outlet "urges the international community, journalists’ rights defenders and watchdogs, and human rights bodies to denounce this ongoing assault" by Israel on journalists in the territory.

I thought there were laws about the treatment of prisoners pf war, and that stripping and beating them would be against those laws. But there's no comment about it from international organisations,

@Parkingt111 Oh yes, I remember hearing about women from Gaza being held too, leaving children behind as well.

@stormy4319trevor not only men but reports of women too
Some of the detainees who were released in the recent truce have reported that there are women from Gaza being held there in terrible conditions

The Israeli Prison Service have refused to disclose how many Gazans are being held in israeli prisons

There was a poet arrested in one of these roundups of men recently. I think he said they were taken to Beersheva prison? He said they were beaten and interrogated. He was let go, possibly because he is known by the American public as a writer and there were protests about him being held. I think he didn't know what happened to the others.

It's worrying that nobody knows what has happened to them after the last image and there are no independent journalists to check either
