Israel's defence ministry announced on Sunday that during the bombardment of Gaza since 7 October, their forces have seized around five million shekels in cash, equivalent to around $1.3m.
They also said that they seized Iraqi dinars, Jordanian dinars and US dollars.
The money will be "forfeited for the state", the ministry said.
On Saturday, video footage shared online showed an Israeli soldier looting a necklace from a home in Gaza, saying that he will give it to his girlfriend.
Palestinians have raised concerns that after being displaced by bombing, Israeli forces have entered their homes and stolen their possessions.
