DaysofPal- A new documentary revealed that Israeli soldiers have committed widespread abuses in Gaza, including war crimes.
These crimes were well documented in photos and videos the soldiers themselves posted, shared, and celebrated on their social media accounts.
According to the feature-length documentary Gaza, published online by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit on Thursday, Israeli forces routinely shared abuses they committed on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook after invading the enclave.
The crimes ranged from wanton destruction and looting, to the demolition of entire neighborhoods and possible unlawful killings.
Al Jazeera said it was able to track down the names, ranks, and military units of many of the soldiers after compiling a database of “over two and a half thousand social media accounts, containing photos and videos placed online by Israeli soldiers.”
Human rights lawyer Rodney Dixon, who watched an early screening of the documentary, called it “a treasure trove you very seldom come across.”
Dixon suggested that the documentary could be of relevance to the International Criminal Court (ICC), claiming it included material that “prosecutors will be licking their lips at”.
