Israeli soldiers spark outrage with TikTok videos of looting Palestinian homes
Gaza (Quds News Network) – Since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, Israeli provocations on social media, particularly the actions of soldiers involved in the ground offensive, have not ceased. The soldiers have engaged in various activities, from cooking in the kitchens of evacuated Palestinian homes to boasting and even blowing up houses for the purpose of mockery.
In the latest incident, Israeli soldier Aaron Rafael, stationed in the Al-Rimal neighborhood west of Gaza City, posted a video on his TikTok account a few hours ago. The video showed him looting Palestinian homes and stealing expensive watches.

The footage depicted the young soldier strolling inside a home emptied due to the continuous Israeli bombardment in recent months. He then aimed his camera at the destruction that had befallen the place.
The focus of his shot shifted to the valuable loot he collected after ransacking the house, stealing jewelry from its owners along with their belongings.
While some launched fierce campaigns against the Israeli soldier on TikTok, amid widespread criticism, it appears that he has closed his account to the public.
It is worth noting that this is not the first incident. Since the outbreak of the war in Gaza on October 7, particularly after the start of the Israeli ground invasion, numerous videos have circulated, described as derogatory to Israeli soldiers.
Some recorded the destruction of humanitarian aid within the Gaza Strip, while others proudly showcased the bombing of civilian homes.
Meanwhile, several soldiers posted videos of them entering Palestinian homes, flaunting what was inside bedrooms and even closets, in a mocking manner.
These provocative actions sparked numerous criticisms on social media, including within Israel itself. This prompted the military to announce an investigation into the actions of its soldiers.
However, the results of these investigations remain unknown.
