GRAPHIC: Hamas executes civilian in cold blood, IDF footage shows

The IDF on Sunday released harrowing footage documenting the execution of a Gaza City resident by Hamas operatives.

Maj.-Gen. Ghassan Alian, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), shared the video on COGAT’s official Arabic-language Facebook page. According to Alian, the execution took place over the weekend in a central square in Gaza City.

“The terrorist and criminal Hamas kills you and does not care about your lives,” Alian wrote. “There is no difference between a dictator who kills silently and a terrorist who slaughters openly: both are your enemies and the enemies of life.”

Alian described the video as further proof of Hamas’s efforts to terrorize the local population in a desperate attempt to cling to power.

“This shocking documentation is yet another attempt by Hamas to sow fear and tighten its grip over Gaza, exploiting the very people it claims to defend,” he said. “Watch how Hamas elements kill a resident of the Gaza Strip in a hideous manner. Hamas’s crimes do not stop.”
