Israeli soldiers looted, destroyed Palestinian homes in Gaza in act of 'revenge'

A former Israel soldier has described serious misconduct by Israeli forces in Gaza, and a lack of discipline in the command structure, in an interview with CNN.

Israeli soldiers destroyed homes and engaged in looting in a uncontrollable desire for revenge, said the solider. 

“We’ve seen a lot of destruction that was not necessarily related to military reasons. Everything tends to (get) really mix up, you know – people are destroying houses because they believe that they should (get) revenge (for) what happened on (October 7) and it mixes up with the reasons to destroy houses for military reasons,” said the Israeli soldier adding that he witnessed “chaos … I could tell you 100% that we’ve destroyed houses at least for reasons that … we don’t care enough about the lives of Palestinians."
