A video widely circulated on social media has sparked outrage after it allegedly showed Israeli soldiers detonating a building in Gaza as part of a gender reveal celebration.
The video, filmed by the soldiers themselves, captures the explosion of a residential building in Gaza, followed by the exclamation, “It’s a boy.”
Blue smoke, indicating the gender of the baby, can be seen rising from the debris—reportedly the result
of explosives placed in the building by the soldiers.
While the video has drawn widespread condemnation online, Israeli officials have yet to comment on the footage.
One social media user described the incident as “despicable,” labelling those involved as “worthless and inhumane.”
Another questioned, “How does the United Nations allow these criminals to commit such atrocities without consequence?”
