Videos of Gazan detainees stripped, bound and blindfolded that were filmed and uploaded online by Israeli soldiers could breach international law, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), quoting legal experts.

According to international law, detainees must not be exposed to unnecessary humiliation or public curiosity.

BBC Verify looked at hundreds of videos openly shared by Israeli soldiers in Gaza since November 2023, said the report, adding that BBC verified eight showing detainees.

The report, quoting Dr Mark Ellis, a leading UN advisor to international criminal tribunals, said the footage might violate the recognised rules for treating prisoners of war.
