Gaza | The Israeli military is investigating a video of a soldier possibly burning a Koran in Gaza

of Israel the army said on Friday that it would begin an investigation into a video posted on social media in which an Israeli soldier allegedly burns books, possibly including the Koran, in Gaza.

“The behavior of the soldier in the video is not in line with the values ​​of the Israeli army. The Army respects all religions and categorically condemns such behavior,” the Army statement said.

According to the Bellingat organization of investigative journalists, the bookshelves shown in the video correspond to the shelves of the al-Aqsa University library in Gaza City.

During the war in Gaza, many derogatory materials sent by soldiers have appeared on social media. In November, a video in which an Israeli soldier dedicated an explosion to his daughter, who had a birthday, caused a stir.

In January, a video was shared in which an Israeli soldier dressed as a dinosaur loads grenades into an assault vehicle.

Criminal investigations have also been initiated into, among other things, deaths and ill-treatment of prisoners, robbery and excessive use of force.

of the United States a total of just under a hundred truckloads of aid supplies have been delivered to Gaza through the temporary port built by the UN, says the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres representative Stéphane Dujarric.

The temporary structure built in front of Gaza was put into use about a week ago. According to Dujarric, the World Food Program (WFP) had received 97 trucks during the first week.

In the beginning, there were problems with the deliveries made through the temporary port for a few days. According to Dujarric, the people on the spot had managed to get their hands on some of the aid supplies contained in the trucks, while their distribution in Gaza is the responsibility of the WFP.

Dujarric emphasized on Friday that the UN wants to see large-scale aid deliveries to Gaza via land routes. The temporary ferry cannot replace normal land transport.

in Gaza is a worsening humanitarian crisis, as aid has not been delivered to civilians due to the fighting between the extremist organization Hamas and Israel. Israel launched its most massive military operation in years after Hamas killed about 1,100 people and took 250 hostages in a terrorist attack in Israel on October 7.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health under Hamas, Israel has killed almost 36,000 people in Gaza since the beginning of October, the majority of whom have been women and children. All figures in the conflict are disputed between the parties.

Now the situation is worst in southern Gaza, where Israel has ordered residents to evacuate as it tries to destroy Hamas fighters and their infrastructure, such as tunnel networks.

For example, the UN, the United States and aid organizations have repeatedly reminded that the attack on Rafah causes disproportionate civilian casualties. There are still hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the city who fled Israel’s previous attacks on northern Gaza.

International the court on Friday ordered Israel to stop the attack specifically in Rafah.

As expected, Israel rejected the ICJ’s decision and insisted that it would continue to keep the Rafah border crossing open. However, according to the news agency Reuters, some of the food supplies waiting to enter the Gaza area from Egypt have started to rot, as the Rafah border crossing has been closed to aid deliveries for the third week already.

The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, on the other hand, has applied for arrest warrants for both the three leaders of Hamas and the prime minister and foreign minister of Israel, because he considers them to be suspects of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
