Gaza soldier videos could breach international law, experts say

Images of Palestinian detainees, some stripped to their underwear, bound and blindfolded that were filmed and uploaded online by Israeli soldiers could breach international law, legal experts say.

International law says detainees must not be exposed to unnecessary humiliation or public curiosity.

BBC Verify looked at hundreds of videos openly shared by Israeli soldiers in Gaza since November 2023. We verified eight showing detainees.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) say they have terminated the service of one of the reservists we identified, who uploaded this video on 24 December 2023.

The IDF says videos like these do not represent its values. It did not respond to any further request for comment.
