Distressing videos and pictures of half-naked men sitting on the streets of various cities in Gaza are circulating. The videos show helpless men sitting with their heads bowed. It is reported that a journalist was also seen in the circulating video. A man in the video has been identified. His brother Hani Almadhoun came to the scene and identified a shop owner as Mahmood. Diaa Al-Kahlout, a media worker for Al-Araby Al-Jadeed (The New Arab), and other citizens are seen sitting with bowed heads in the Beit Lahia market in northern Gaza.
