Israeli soldiers recorded themselves watching TV in a West Bank home after reportedly removing the Palestinian family that lived there.
In a video clip circulating on X, approximately 15 members of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are seen sitting in a home in the West Bank, watching television after raiding the home and "expelling the family," according to a follow-up X post. Strewn about are children's toys.
The post, originally shared by X user @KhalilAsslan, was captioned: "In one of the houses in the West Bank, Hanun Magal is observed. Where is the coffee and cake?"
Yaniv Magal, an Israeli journalist who is close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, later boasted about the soldiers watching him on television, Anadolu Ajansı, Turkey's state-run news agency reported.
"Ugh. Shame," X user @MRose_May wrote in a post translated from Hebrew to English.
"Imagine creating a beautiful home after years of hard work, only to be forced out at gunpoint. It's unimaginable to have strangers rifling through your belongings, violating your sanctuary," another X user added.
Since Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza on January 15th, "Israel has increased its military operations in the West Bank," the BBC reported. More than 20,000 Palestinians have been forced to leave their homes, many of which have been demolished along with the infrastructure by the IDF.
At least 30 Palestinians have been killed, including a 2-year-old girl who was shot in the head, and dozens wounded in Jenin and the West Bank since Israeli forces began its large-scale operation on January 21st.
