Hamas attacks Israel

Ok between Zalensky and now Israeli leaders getting the appellation, we can safely say “Nazi” now means “someone I really don’t like”.

Israeli authorities are investigating claims by U.S. researchers that some investors may have known in advance of a Hamas plan to attack Israel on Oct. 7 and used that information to profit from Israeli securities.
Research by law professors Robert Jackson Jr from New York University and Joshua Mitts of Columbia University found significant short-selling of shares leading up to the attacks, which triggered a war nearly two months old.
"Days before the attack, traders appeared to anticipate the events to come," they wrote, citing short interest in the MSCI Israel Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that "suddenly, and significantly, spiked" on Oct. 2 based on data from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
"And just before the attack, short selling of Israeli securities on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) increased dramatically," they wrote in their 66-page report.
In response, the TASE referred Reuters to the Israel Securities Authority, which said: "The matter is known to the authority and is under investigation by all the relevant parties."

@89th said in Hamas attacks Israel:
Lots of shoes left behind
Readers added context:
Many of the shoes were right shoes, and many of those right shoes were behind the left shoes.
Community rating: The claim that left shoes were behind, is disinformation.

These are not POWs. They are solely responsible for the thousands of deaths of their own people. Is there really any reason to keep them around?

Since there has been a sudden burst of experts on the handling of prisoners of war, here is what I see from the photos of the @IDF and Hamas prisoners of war in Gaza.
According to the Geneva Conventions prisoners of war may include the following:
• Members of the armed forces
• Volunteer militia, including resistance movements
• Civilians accompanying the armed forcesWhen prisoners surrender (some unofficial reports Hamas surrendered out of tunnels) or are captured, they are immediately searched. Many militaries have internal processes, in the U.S. military it is to search, silence, segregate, speed (to the rear for processing), & safeguard.
In Israel and Gaza, combatants often have weapons and explosives (suicide vests and other) so a tactic of the @IDF is to have the prisoners remove their clothing down to their underwear from a distance to ensure they are not a threat to their captors or other prisoners.
Once searched, prisoners of war are rushed to safe areas (safeguarded) for processing for intelligence and detainment. This includes collecting individual information so prisoner information may be submitted to the ICRC.

As soon as I saw the picture I figured it was due to suicide vests and self-carried IEDs.
You were warned.
