Naked children, women, rows of bound, blindfolded men. These are the images from a video circulating on social media that reservist Yosee Gamzoo Letova posted on YouTube: It shows dozens of people being held by Israeli forces in a stadium in the north of the Gaza Strip. In some clips, you can see what appear to be two little boys stripped down to their underwear and holding up both hands as the Tel Aviv army escorts them into the stadium. In another clip, what appear to be the same teenagers can be seen holding their hands above their heads, lined up in a row with other teenagers and adults.
Even women and children
In the video, a small group of women can also be seen walking in the middle of the soccer field. Then dozens of men in their underwear, some standing in the middle of the lawn, others sitting or kneeling on the ground. With tied hands and blindfolded in front of the soccer goal with an Israeli flag hanging on it. “Palestinian men, including children as young as 10 and elderly people over 70, were forced to remove all clothing except underwear and stand in a humiliating manner in front of women detained in the same stadium,” writes CNN, citing the NGO Euro- Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor. The organization said it had received information that the Israeli army was holding hundreds of Palestinians from the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.
