"Israeli Military Investigates Alleged Looting and Unacceptable Conduct in Gaza"
TL;DR
Israeli soldiers fighting in Gaza have been documented looting Palestinian homes, taking items such as wristwatches, rugs, groceries, and jewelry. This looting has been widely reported in Israeli media and even discussed by rabbis from the Religious Zionist movement. IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi has urged soldiers not to take anything that is not theirs, but the phenomenon has become routine. In addition to looting, soldiers are also eating food found in abandoned Palestinian homes, with some soldiers describing their experiences of cooking in these homes. The IDF has stated that it views such actions with severity and conducts ongoing dialogue on the subject throughout the fighting.
