Israeli media recently released new images and footage showing dozens of Palestinian men, including the elderly, who were reportedly kidnapped in Khan Yunis, Gaza. The men were depicted blindfolded, handcuffed, and numbered, with several Israeli sources alleging that they were extrajudicially executed. Additional footage published by Israeli soldiers on February 9, 2024, including an Israeli officer with the rank of Sergeant Major, showed the soldiers beating and humiliating the Palestinian captives while singing. The footage, which also shows Israeli soldiers abusing the kidnapped Palestinians, has raised concerns among legal experts that the actions depicted could constitute a breach of international law, according to the BBC. A video released shows the November 2023 incident of Israeli soldiers humiliating kidnapped Palestinian men and hitting one on the head.
