Shocking confessions of an Israeli soldier: We commit killings and rapes in Gaza

A widely circulated video clip revealed horrific confessions made by a soldier in the Israeli occupation army, in which he admitted to committing grave violations, including killing and raping Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip. The soldier appeared in a live conversation via the 'TikTok' application with American content creator Jeff Davidson, speaking arrogantly about the practices of the Israeli forces during the ongoing war of extermination.

During the broadcast, the soldier displayed scenes of massive destruction in the area where he serves within the Strip, proudly pointing out that homes had been completely razed to the ground and no trace of them remained. When the American interviewer confronted him that the Israeli army was responsible for this devastation, the soldier answered in the affirmative without any hesitation or remorse for destroying civilian infrastructure.

The intensity of the discussion escalated when the soldier tried to justify targeting children by showing a picture of a child carrying a weapon, claiming that he found it in one of the demolished houses. YouTuber Davidson responded strongly, emphasizing that the presence of children defending themselves against an invading army never justifies killing or targeting them, holding the occupation responsible for the deteriorating situation in Gaza.

In a shocking moment, the soldier made obscene and dangerous statements, saying: 'We killed women and children,' and then coldly continued: 'And by the way, don't worry, we also rape them.' These documented confessions sparked a massive wave of anger and protest across social media platforms, where observers considered them conclusive evidence of war crimes committed.

Activists and human rights defenders affirmed that this live testimony reflects the doctrine of the occupation army and its soldiers' feeling of complete impunity from international punishment and accountability. Tweeters pointed out that the absolute political and military support provided by the United States and its allies to Benjamin Netanyahu's government is what encourages soldiers to boast about their crimes in front of cameras.

Analysts believed that the soldier's confidence in his speech stemmed from the absence of deterrent legal measures in previous incidents, which created an atmosphere that allows the repetition of these brutal acts. These confessions come at a time when the Israeli media machine is trying to improve its international image, but such clips reveal the true face of military operations in the Strip.

Bloggers stressed that the seriousness of the statements lies in their absolute frankness, which highlights the unspoken suffering of Palestinian civilians under the yoke of occupation. Human rights defenders demanded that this clip be used as a document of condemnation in international courts to ensure the prosecution of those responsible for these heinous crimes and to put an end to the policy of impunity.

In a related context, Human Rights Watch issued its annual report for 2025, which directly and explicitly accused Israel of committing war crimes and acts of genocide. The organization confirmed that what the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are witnessing represents systematic ethnic cleansing that has resulted in the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

The international report clarified that the violations monitored during the past year occurred on an unprecedented scale in the modern history of the conflict, warning of the repercussions of international complicity. The organization stated that the international community's silence and the continued flow of weapons directly contribute to exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and expanding the scope of violations against unarmed civilians.

Human rights reports concluded that the confessions of field soldiers terrifyingly match the documentation carried out by international organizations on the ground. Voices are currently rising for the necessity of independent and transparent international investigations to determine the extent of sexual and physical crimes to which detainees and civilians in Gaza are subjected away from the eyes of cameras.

We don't just kill, we also rape them... Don't be surprised, there are no houses here, they have been razed to the ground.
