Between hateful and racist writings, and video clips bearing the same behavior, there is a variety of disgraceful and sadistic behavior by Israeli occupation soldiers during the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Since the outbreak of the war on Gaza, the practices of the occupation forces that deviate from the usual morals of war have not stopped, especially the disgraceful behavior published by the soldiers participating in the ground aggression, a reflection of a state of incitement and hatred from the highest political and military levels in the occupying entity.
With every incursion of Israeli tanks into residential neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip, soldiers committed crimes against residents and facilities, and committed acts criminalized under the law of war. However, they did not hesitate to photograph and share them on social media platforms, reassured by the absence of international accountability for them.
In most of the places they stormed, the occupation soldiers left behind slogans in Hebrew, full of hatred and racism.
On the walls of a house in the Al-Nasr neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip, after the withdrawal of Israeli tanks and soldiers, I found writings indicating that the soldiers were taking revenge on Palestinian civilians, and the hatred they had for Arabs.

After the departure of the Israeli tanks, residents also noticed slogans written by Israeli soldiers on the walls during the storming of residential buildings, carrying meanings of revenge against the people of the Gaza Strip, according to news agencies.
A picture of an occupation army soldier, with the slogan “Death to Arabs” behind him, was also spread across social media, on the wall of the Turkish Friendship Hospital in the central Gaza Strip, which the soldiers turned into a military headquarters.
An army documents its crimes
A report published by the French website “Orient 21”, last January, confirmed that Israeli occupation soldiers are keen to show video clips and pictures of the violations they commit in Gaza to highlight their superiority and take pride in their crimes.
The report, written by Fatima bin Hamad, recalled the incident of American soldiers photographing detainees in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, explaining that until then, this type of photo was reserved for a limited circle and did not reach the general public except through other dissatisfied soldiers.
The writer continued that in the era of social networking sites, Israeli soldiers are keen to share videos and photos. According to them, there are no longer men, women, or children, but rather “enemies” that must be killed, and “things” that must disappear.
She stated that what is most surprising is the number of photos and videos taken by Israeli soldiers laughing and very happy while bombing or burning Palestinian buildings, without any justification.
Targeting civilians
In a scene that is inconsistent with human morals, some occupation soldiers write, “God willing, the innocent will be hit” on this missile that they will drop on any place in the Gaza Strip, and in most cases it will hit innocent civilians.
In other scenes, Israeli soldiers show their sadism and brutality while filming the bombings of Palestinian homes in Gaza, and their laughter mixed with sarcasm rose without concern for the feelings of their owners or their property.
Occupation soldiers compete to take pictures with the houses they blow up, as some soldiers did during the bombing of a building in Khan Yunis in the central Gaza Strip.
The crime was so extreme that one of the occupation soldiers posted a clip of himself live on air, bragging about blowing up an entire residential square with explosives in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.
There is no stronger evidence than the bombing of residential areas to prove the intention to displace the Palestinians in Gaza, which the occupation army does not deny. Rather, its soldiers brag about bombing those homes, and document their crime with audio and video, without showing any humane feelings.
In a blatant expression of the sadism with which the occupation soldiers behave, a soldier posted a clip of himself burning Palestinian homes in Gaza, with the absence of any acceptable motive for this behavior, other than pleasure and revenge.
These events are not individual, as the occupation may claim. In other clips, Israeli soldiers appear more organized as they prepare in front of the camera to launch missiles, and prepare bombs to destroy civilian buildings in Gaza.
Targeting mosques
Despite international laws that criminalize targeting places of worship, the Israeli occupation deliberately destroyed most of the mosques in the Gaza Strip in its barbaric aggression against Gaza, bombing some of them during prayer, leaving those praying there between martyr and wounded.
The occupation claims that these mosques harbor militants or are used for military purposes, which they could not prove. In fact, some clips published by the occupation soldiers prove the opposite, as the army deliberately booby-trapped it and then blew it up, which proves that they entered and searched it without being exposed to any harm.
One of the soldiers posted a clip of the moment the occupation forces blew up a mosque in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli soldiers also shared another clip on their social media accounts in which they filmed the deliberate bombing of a mosque in Khan Yunis, even though the mosque had suffered severe damage before. It is interesting to note that they published the clip with the title: “A controlled demolition operation, conducted for entertainment purposes.”

Targeting educational facilities
The ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza for the ninth month in a row has proven that the occupation army targets all areas of life in the Strip, including educational facilities such as schools and universities.
The New York Times reported from a research study that more than 80% of schools and universities in Gaza have been destroyed or severely damaged since the start of the Israeli aggression.
Although the occupation claims that these institutions are used by the resistance, all media reports have shown that they were nothing more than a shelter for displaced persons.
These clips published by the occupation soldiers contribute to denying these allegations. In one of the clips, Israeli soldiers are shown dancing inside the Faculty of Medicine at the Islamic University in Gaza before it was bombed in early January.
In another clip, occupation soldiers film the moment of the bombing of the medical college, in blatant defiance of all international conventions and treaties, which call for the protection of educational institutions.
In further evidence that filming and publishing these clips is not limited to individual cases, professionally filmed clips from a drone show the moment the occupation bombed the Isra University building in Gaza, which indicates that it is a systematic policy that reflects a spirit of healing and revenge.
Books and libraries were not spared the hatred of the occupation soldiers, as one of the soldiers posted a clip of himself inside the library of Al-Aqsa University in Gaza, where he sat reading a book while the fire he lit consumed the books behind him.
In a clear message to the United Nations, that the occupation army does not pay any attention to it, and does not care about any international law, an Israeli soldier published a clip of himself burning a United Nations school in Gaza, then shared it “with pride” on his social media account.
It is worth noting that South Africa submitted some video clips published by occupation soldiers to the International Court of Justice, as evidence that Israel committed “genocide” against the Palestinians in Gaza.
