An Israeli soldier has shared a video clip of himself throwing a copy of the Quran into a fire in Gaza.
The clip, shared by Israeli Army Radio on Thursday, showed the soldier, Ishak Buznah, tossing the Muslim holy book into the fire.
However, no details were provided about the timing or location of the incident.
The broadcaster reported that the Israeli army has launched an investigation into the matter.
Since the beginning of the war on Gaza, Israeli soldiers have been posting videos documenting acts of looting, burning, and destruction of homes, assaulting detainees, and writing hate graffiti on the walls of houses.
The Israeli army has not announced any measures against the soldiers involved, only stating that their actions “contravene the army’s values.”
Israel has continued its offensive on Gaza despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire.
More than 35,700 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, the vast majority being women and children, and nearly 80,000 others injured since last October following an attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
Over seven months into the Israeli war, vast areas of Gaza lay in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel is accused of “genocide” at the International Court of Justice, which has ordered Tel Aviv to ensure its forces do not commit acts of genocide and to take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
