Hamas is reportedly carrying out mass public executions in Gaza as it desperately seeks to maintain control over the Palestinian enclave, even as US President Donald Trump has vowed to disarm the group. Videos of Hamas’ barbaric reprisal have gone viral on social media as the group clashed with other armed Palestinian clans to retain control of the Gaza Strip after a US-brokered truce with Israel.
The footage, apparently from Monday evening, showed the street execution of eight men, whom the armed group branded “collaborators and outlaws”. In the graphic video, eight badly beaten men can be seen blindfolded and kneeling in the street before each is shot dead by gunmen wearing the green headbands associated with Hamas.
Chants of ‘Allahu Akbar‘ (God is greatest in Arabic) can be heard from the crowd surrounding the bodies.
Without providing evidence, Hamas, in a statement, said the victims were “criminals and collaborators with Israel”.
NDTV has decided against sharing the graphic clipping, as it could appear triggering to readers.
Following the IDF’s withdrawal, Hamas has quickly looked to reassert its control over Gaza, targeting the “clans,” or family-based armed groups that had gained strength during the conflict.
