At the end of January 2024, Israeli soldier Yosee Gamzoo published a photo showing him torturing a Palestinian civilian in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, in the western part of the city.

The man's name is Hamza Abu Halymah, from the Shujaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City. He was arrested at his home by Israeli soldiers who destroyed the front door with a grenade.

During the arrest, Hamza was stripped and forced to walk naked through the streets to a detention center located in a Catholic college that had been occupied by the Israeli army.

While Hamza was being tortured, Israeli forces reportedly killed his father, one of his brothers, his brother’s wife, and later two of his nephews—an infant and a two-year-old child. These two children remained next to their mother’s body for two days before Israeli soldiers returned and allegedly killed them as well. Another of Hamza’s brothers had previously been killed by Israeli forces in 2014.

The detention site was reportedly a Christian kindergarten and school known as “@GazaCollege”, located east of the Rimal neighborhood, on Jala Street, near the Barbari gas station. More documentation is available under the tag @GazaCollege.

After the photo spread on social media, the soldier deleted the image and his Instagram account.
