Horrific videos have emerged showing Palestinians having their legs broken with iron bars and being kneecapped by Hamas enforcers in Gaza.
In footage shared on X by the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Israel has claimed that 'Hamas is brutalising Palestinian civilians' in an effort to 'reestablish control', and has called for Gaza to be demilitarised.
One disturbing clip shows two men being brutally beaten after being dragged across the ground by what Israel claims are masked Hamas militants.
They can be seen crying out in pain as they hold their arms out in front of their faces in an attempt to protect themselves from being beaten. A crowd of attackers soon swarmed around the pair, raising their weapons and pointing their guns in their direction.
One man, who appears to have a black sack over his head, is seen writhing on the ground in agony with his hands bound with rope behind his back as the attackers smash bars across his kneecaps with force.
As he squirms on the dusty road after being dumped beside a vehicle, three men donning black masks repeatedly beat him with long, thick sticks. They drag him again and throw him next to another civilian, who is also tied-up, before beating them both and shooting at their knees.
At least one of the men appeared to be hit by a bullet, as he screams out in pain, and just a moment later, one of the alleged Hamas enforcers steps on the head of of a captive, crushing his face into the dirt.
In another clip, a topless man can be seen being dragged by his bound wrists face-down through a crowd by two masked men. Barefoot and only wearing a pair of tracksuit pants, he is dropped onto the ground before being kicked in the torso and shins by at least four enforcers carrying weapons.
