An incident involving the surrender of dozens of Hamas fighters to Israeli forces in northern Gaza on December 7 has been reported.

According to the Times of Israel, the group surrendered after being pushed back by advancing Israel Defense Forces near Jabaliya.

Photographs depict lines of men sitting on a street with their hands raised and stripped down to their underwear as they were lined up by IDF troops.

However, Israel’s Kan News reported that the men were detained before the IDF could confirm whether they were all members of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The New Arab, a Qatari-owned news outlet based in London, alleged that one of the men in the footage was Diaa Al-Kahlot, one of its correspondents reporting from Gaza.

Senior Hamas leader Osama Hamdan claimed that the individuals arrested in the video were unarmed civilians not associated with the terror group, as reported by Arabic broadcaster Al Araby.

The IDF has not yet commented on the arrests in Jabaliya.
