Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz has shared a video that he claims captures Hamas members surrendering to Israeli forces in Beit Hanoon in northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

In the footage, apparently shot from the air, three people emerge from a rubble-strewn area, kneel and raise their arms in the air. A separate photo shared alongside the video on X shows a group of three unarmed men wearing only undergarments.

“They emerge from the tunnels into the destroyed city … [the Israeli military] is destroying both above- and below-ground targets,” Katz wrote in the post.

His claim comes as Israeli forces continue a slew of attacks across the Strip.
