Videos of Gazans condemning Hamas were filmed under Israeli coercion: Witnesses

Israel forced Palestinians to make derogatory comments about Hamas then published videos of these statements online, portraying it as evidence of widespread discontent towards the group, witnesses reported. Gazans said that fear and force were behind the footage of such denouncements and a compilation of testimonies has challenged the narrative being shared by the Israeli military. A mother of five, who chose to remain anonymous for her safety, recounted her interaction with Israeli soldiers which took place while fleeing bombardment in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza.
