SICK videos released by the IDF claim to show Palestinian civilians being beaten by Hamas.
The CCTV clips, which are between six and four years old, appear to show detainees being beaten and punished.

In one clip, a male detainee has a bag over his head and is beaten by a fat smoking a cigarette.
The fat man can also be seen in another clip poking a detainee with the stick who is held upside with his feet chained up.
Other detainees have one leg held up by a chain with a bag on their head as they are forced to stand one legged for extended periods of time.
The IDF claims the people being beaten are Palestinian civilians and the men seen administering the torture are Hamas.
But the veracity of the videos is not clear with the IDF releasing no information about how they were discovered or detailed context about what they claim it shows.
In a statement with the clips the military said: “The same civilians that Hamas outspokenly claimed to be fighting for, are the same civilians being tortured in this video.
“Hamas is not only Israel’s enemy—they’re Gaza’s enemy also.”
Hamas has been accused of torturing the captives it snatched in its horrific October 7 terror attack last year.
The UN found “convincing information” that Hamas raped and tortured Israeli hostages during the attack and the abuses would be ongoing.
National Security Minister Ben Gvir was reportedly sent video of hostages being tortured by Hamas in Gaza, the Telegraph reported.
One group, the Hostages Families Forum said in response to the report: “There is no need for additional videos to know the obvious: for 296 days now, the hostages have been undergoing physical and mental torture, starved, and held in inhumane conditions.
“The minister of national security, like the prime minister and all cabinet members, has only one responsibility: to approve a deal NOW! A deal that will allow the release of all 115 hostages, and stop the torture that they and their families are forced to endure.”
The footage comes as the IDF prosecutes its war in Lebanon against Hezbollah and releases clips of its soldiers at work.
Black and white CCTV footage released by the IDF last week appeared to show its troops moving Imad Amhaz through a parking lot as they kidnapped him in North Lebanon.

Amhaz was considered by the IDF to be a “significant source of knowledge” in Hezbollah’s naval force.
About a dozen spec ops soldiers with night vision goggles, oxygen tanks, and rifles raised walked him past the camera during the seizure.
Amhaz was snatched and taken back to Israel to be questioned by the military spies.
A NEW DAWN FOR HAMAS?
It comes after Hamas’ boss and the mastermind behind the horrific October 7 massacre Yahya Sinwar was killed.
The IDF released footage of Sinwar’s final moments, hunched over and wounded inside a bombed building in Gaza.
They also released images of Sinwar dead, with a bullet hole in his head.
Fearing his own death, Sinwar left the secret handwritten notes for Hamas fighters with directions about what to do with the remaining hostages.
The three-page dossier, published by the Palestinian paper Al-Quds, is claimed to be his final “wills” and “directives.”
Scribbled over the pages are instructions that ask Hamas captors guarding the hostages to “take care of the lives of enemy prisoners and secure them”, dubbing them “bargaining chips” to be used during peace talks.
Muhammad Sinwar, the slain terror chief’s brother, is being seen as the next possible successor to take over the terror outfit.
He became the de facto second-in-command of Hamas’ leadership in Gaza following the deaths of top Hamas military commanders, such as Mohammed Deif and Marwan Issa.
Mohammed became a trusted confidant of Yahya, being one of the few people who knew where the Hamas boss was hiding during the war.
Israeli officials warned that Muhammad is as much of a hardliner as his brother, and could pose as a major obstacle in a potential hostage deal – especially after Israel killed his brother.
Grisha Yakubovich, a former senior Israeli military official and expert on Palestinian affairs, explained how Mohammed Sinwar’s rise to power poses a significant danger.
He told The Sun: “Mohammed Sinwar is just as radical, if not more, than Yahya Sinwar.
