Many of the men were stripped to just their underwear as the IDF troops lined up others to proceed farther down the closed-off road.

In one clip, the Hamas members could be seen in the back of an Israeli military vehicle.

Channel 13 reporter Almog Boker estimated that more than a hundred Hamas fighters turned themselves in, the largest group to surrender to the IDF since Israel began its incursion into the Palestinian enclave.

The IDF has yet to comment on the arrests in Jabaliya.

The northern Gaza city has seen some of the most intense fighting in recent days as the IDF raided Hamas’ general security headquarters in the area.

There, Israeli troops found weapons, equipment and intelligence documents belonging to the terrorist group, officials said.
