Dozens of Hamas terrorists are captured by the IDF and then stripped to their underwear.
At least 100 possible Hamas terrorists have been pictured stripped to their underwear, bound and lined up on their knees, after being captured by Israeli soldiers.
Footage shared by Israeli media shows Israel Defence Forces (IDF) troops rounding up scores of men and transporting them on the back of trucks.
They were stripped 'to rule out the possibility that they were carrying weapons'.
Dozens of captives were shown, with shoes and sandals strewn across the street.
When asked about the images, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari confirmed that the men had been taken prisoner.

Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said Israeli troops have detained and interrogated hundreds of people in Gaza suspected of militant links.
Hagari told reporters: 'Jabalia and Shejaiya are centers of gravity... for terrorists, and we are fighting them.
'They are hiding underground and come out and we fight them. Whoever is left in those areas, they come out from tunnel shafts, and some from buildings, and we investigate who is linked to Hamas, and who isn't. We arrest them all and interrogate them.'
Walla reported on Wednesday afternoon that Israeli soldiers from the 261st Reserve Brigade had arrested and were investigating those pictured.
The news site reported that those arrested were not expected to be moved to Israel but investigated in Gaza.
The Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news outlet said its correspondent Diaa Al-Kahlout was among those detained and had been taken to an unknown location.
The images were the first showing such detentions in the Israeli-Hamas war.
