Israeli occupation forces forced residents of western Khan Yunis Governorate to flee to the city of Rafah and pass through gates they had set up. Eyewitnesses who passed through the checkpoint told Al Jazeera Net that army soldiers ordered young men to walk in rows of 5 people, holding up their ID cards, and forced some of them, via a loudspeaker, to step aside in preparation for interrogation or arrest.
Young man, Bassam Falyouna, reveals that the occupation army was filming fabricated scenes showing it distributing water or food to create the illusion that it was treating those passing through the checkpoints well.
