WEST BANK (KI) – Zionist troops rounded up dozens of Palestinians in an open field of a stadium in Gaza on Monday, stripping them and tying their hands behind their backs, according to photos and video footage shared on local media.
Reports said Zionist troops had abused the residents, including men, children and the elderly, before gathering them in the open field.Video footage showed Israeli soldiers, accompanied by tanks, pointing their guns at the detained Palestinians who could be seen entering the field in a line with their hands up in the air before sitting down in designated areas.
The video ends with a shot of an Israeli soldier carrying a baby, wrapped in blanket.
The video, reportedly taken by an Israeli photojournalist, shows how Zionist troops have transformed the stadium into a large detention center.
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said on 20 December that Israeli troops have been carrying out field executions against civilians, after detaining them from their homes.
The rights monitor obtained testimonies of Zionist troops raiding homes and opening fire at Palestinians for no reason.
Euro-Med Monitor said it also received similar testimonies about atrocities committed by Israeli forces in numerous areas they occupied, including killings and field executions.
Earlier this month, the Israeli military said it was rounding up Palestinian men in northern Gaza for interrogation. Footage released at the time showed dozens of men stripped of their clothes, blindfolded, and with their hands tied, being taken to an undisclosed location.
A witness said at least seven men had been shot dead by troops for not complying with the soldiers’ orders fast enough, according to the Euro-Med Monitor.
The men had been reportedly rounded up from homes and schools sheltering displaced families in the northern Gaza Strip.
Euro-Med Monitor said doctors, academics, journalists and seniors were among them. Diaa al-Kahlout, a journalist working for the al-Araby al-Jadeed news outlet, was identified as one of the detained men.
Some videos showed them in a residential area before being loaded onto trucks. Another photo showed them lined up in an open sandy area. It was not clear where they were taken to.
