The Israeli military faces international criticism after viral videos and photos of Israeli soldiers engaging in derogatory behavior in Gaza have emerged, raising concerns over its tactics and civilian casualties in the conflict with Hamas, Associated Press reports.
The videos, uploaded by soldiers themselves, show soldiers engaged in disrespectful actions such as rummaging through homes, destroying items in a toy store, and attempting to burn food supplies which have sparked controversy.
The Israeli military promises disciplinary action for what it claims are isolated incidents, but critics argue that the videos reflect a broader lack of empathy for Gaza’s civilians.
