A video purportedly depicting the execution of a Palestinian individual by Hamas in Gaza City has been released by Israel. The footage, disseminated via COGAT’s Arabic-language Facebook page, shows a blurred image of the incident. Maj Gen Ghassan Alian, of COGAT, characterized the execution as indicative of Hamas’s violent tactics to retain power, accusing them of endangering the lives of Gazan residents. He likened the group’s actions to those of dictators, condemning the alleged violence. The video, described as ‘shocking,’ is, according to Alian, an attempt to instill fear within the public. The released footage does not provide specifics about the victim or the circumstances. It is released to illustrate what Israel views as Hamas’s persistent violence and disregard for the lives of Palestinians. On Thursday, the Israel Defence Forces released an audio recording of Palestinians blaming Hamas for recent violence at humanitarian aid centres.
