With fighting raging around Khan Younis and in the north of Gaza, a video has emerged on social media showing dozens of Palestinian men detained by Israel.

Do we know whether those are civilians or Hamas members? IDF tells those are terrorists, al jazeera says the right opposite. None of them can be considered trustworthy, so that’s why I am asking whether someone knows more.

The people released so far were civilians and reported other civilians and family members bought* there. One is a journalist, not released yet, no idea where he is. They are in undisclosed locations and their families don't even know. No weapons were found or ceased. The IDF itself says they took them purely for being Palestinian men in the north. They pulled them directly from a refugee camp where families were sheltering. The women there were threatened at gunpoint. They didn't "surrender".

Edit: typo.

That’s honestly sad. I understand the need to check whether they don't have weapons but tying them like this is too much. And then even the recording screams, "see how we dehumanize them."
