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 neighbourhoods 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”.
