IDF investigating demolition of water facility by troops in southern Gaza [View all]

Last edited Mon Jul 29, 2024, 08:12 AM - Edit history (1)

MSN is carrying a story that appears to come from The Times Of Israel that a group of IDF soldiers in Rafah took video of themselves blowing up the water supply tank and well in Rafah. The soldiers apparently posted two videos on X. One showed rigging the equipment with explosives and the other the actual explosion. Apparently one of the videos had the caption “Demolishing the water reservoir of Tel Sultan in honor of the Sabbath.” The article goes on to say that the local brigade commander gave approval but the senior commanders were unaware.

The article mentions that Haaretz is reporting that the Military Police are investigating the incident as a suspected violation of international law.
