The Israeli army released footage on Sunday, June 8, 2025, showing a Hamas militant executing a Palestinian in a Gaza City square over the weekend. The brutal execution followed ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, particularly intensified around Jabalia and Khan Yunis, amid a recent ceasefire.
The footage, described as exceptional documentation, aims to expose Hamasโs tactics of public executions to instill fear and maintain power over Gazaโs residents.
COGAT head General Ghassan Alian condemned the incident as a futile and reckless effort to instill fear among the public, emphasizing that Hamas is indifferent to civilian lives.
The release emphasizes that Israeli operations are expanding into new areas of Gaza. It highlights Hamas’s exploitation of civilians to maintain its regime amid the ongoing conflict.
