Israeli Soldiers Detain and Strip Palestinian Men in Gaza

Images from Gaza have emerged showing Israeli soldiers detaining numerous men who were forced to strip to their underwear, kneel on the street, wear blindfolds, and pack into a military vehicle. The exact circumstances and dates of the detentions are unclear, but some of the detainees have been confirmed as civilians with no known affiliation to militant groups. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has accused the Israeli army of randomly and arbitrarily arresting Palestinian civilians, including doctors, academics, journalists, and elderly men. The Israeli Defense Forces have not responded to the images, while the Israeli media has portrayed them as the surrender of Hamas members. Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, a news network, reported that one of its correspondents and several members of his family were among those detained, and they are currently missing.
