a group of armed Hamas terrorists abducting a woman in the context of the accusations (which are, BTW, being investigated by IDF) leveled in the story, is obscene to the extreme.

Here is an excerpt from Article 27 of the Fourth Geneva Convention that the so-called "experts" referred to in the video claim to have been breached by the IDF soldiers:

ART. 27. — Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to
respect for their persons, their honour, their family rights, their
religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs.
They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected
especially against all acts of violence or threats thereof and against
insults and public curiosity.
Women shall be especially protected against any attack on their
honour, in particular against rape, enforced prostitution, or any
form of indecent assault.

It takes a special kind of determined idiocy to invoke this Article against Israeli soldiers shown with inanimate objects , while the same Article is not being invoked against armed terrorists being shown abducting a real woman.
