Report says that hundreds of Hamas terrorists surrendered to Israeli forces in northern Gaza Thursday, Dec. 7, 2023. According to the Times of Israel, the terrorists turned themselves in after being chased back by the advancing Israel Defense Forces near Jabaliya.
In a photo, dozens of the Hamas men were seen lined up on a street in rows with their hands over their heads. They were stripped to just their underwear as they lined them up before the the IDF troops. Another picture shows the Hamas members in the back of an Israeli military vehicle.
Sources estimated that more than a hundred Hamas fighters turned themselves in, the largest group to surrender to the IDF ever since Israel began its incursion into the Palestinian territory.
It was also reported that the group of men were detained before the IDF could ascertain whether they were all members of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
According to The New Arab, a Qatari-owned news outlet located in London, alleged that one of the men seen in the clip was Diaa Al-Kahlot, one of its journalists reporting from Gaza.
Sources have it that one of the Hamas leaders, Osama Hamdan claimed that the people arrested in the video were unarmed civilians who were not connected with the terror group.
As of press time, the IDF has not commented on the incident.
