Israeli troops selling loot stolen from Gaza and Lebanon, investigation reveals

Israeli soldiers have been selling looted valuables from Gaza and Lebanon, a new investigation has revealed.

A report by Hamakom Hachi Ham Bagehenom (The Hottest Place in Hell) compiled numerous testimonies of thefts allegedly committed by members of the Israeli army. These included large sums of cash, jewellery, electronic devices, and even vehicles.

These items were later sold on Telegram channels, Facebook Marketplace, or in public sales. 

A commander in the Nahal Brigade, using the pseudonym Eitan to remain anonymous, explained that while soldiers initially took items as souvenirs, the thefts soon escalated.

Searching soldiers' bags became a lower priority, as "it was the whole battalion. Soldiers were doing it everywhere, and they managed to hide it everywhere."
