GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) – 
Zionist troops have committed widespread abuses in Gaza, including potential war crimes, according to photos and videos they posted, shared and celebrated on their social media accounts, a new documentary has revealed.
According to the feature-length documentary Gaza, published online by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit, Zionist troops routinely shared abuses they committed on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook after invading the enclave.
The crimes ranged from wanton destruction and looting, to the demolition of entire neighborhoods and possible unlawful killings.
Al Jazeera said it was able to track down the names, ranks and military units of many of the soldiers after compiling a database of “over two and a half thousand social media accounts, containing photos and videos placed online by Israeli soldiers”.
Human rights lawyer Rodney Dixon, who watched an early screening of the documentary, called it “a treasure trove you very seldom come across”.
Dixon suggested that the documentary could be of relevance to the International Criminal Court (ICC), claiming it included material which “prosecutors will be licking their lips at”.
Zionist regime officials are currently facing a range of charges before the ICC for their roles in war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war on Gaza.
In May, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said he filed an application for arrest warrants for Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and war minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif.
The Al Jazeera documentary also supports previous investigations which have highlighted how Palestinian civilians are routinely killed by Israeli snipers.
In January, Middle East Eye reported that an Israeli sniper shot dead an elderly Palestinian woman whose grandson was holding a white flag. 
Commenting on the abuses featured in the documentary, Dixon said: “Just because a civilian is in an area where combat is going on does not make them fair game.
“If they get involved in hostilities at a particular moment, yes, they lose their civilian status, they can be targeted. But then you have to show the evidence that they are presenting a threat to you,” he said.
“It’s potentially a matter that the International Criminal Court would want to look at,” Dixon added.
The documentary also referenced one video uploaded to YouTube by a member of Israel’s 202nd Paratroopers Battalion, in which three unarmed Palestinian men were shot dead by Zionist snipers.
Retired British army general Charlie Herbert said it was “extraordinary” that an Israeli soldier uploaded the video to YouTube. “The degree of impunity,” he said. “[There] may have been legitimate targets, but it sure doesn’t look like it to me.”
Later, when commenting on an incident where an Israeli soldier blew up a building, Herbert said: “The fact that they’ve been able to rig these buildings up with explosives shows very clearly there’s no current threat from those buildings.”
