A report in the Israel newspaper Haaretz says the army is misleading the public on Telegram channels, Al Jazeera reports.
The report says the Israeli army is operating a channel called “72 Virgins – Uncensored”, which posts graphic pictures of the alleged bodies of Hamas members.
The channel, which was created two days after the October 7 attack, says it posts “exclusive content from the Gaza Strip” and encourages its 5,300 followers to share pictures and videos showing the destruction of the enclave.
In one post made on October 14, a video was shared of an Israeli vehicle repeatedly running over a body, titled “Exclusive video of a good night, don’t forget to share and repost”.
The army has denied it operates the channel but an official, who spoke to Haaretz on the condition of anonymity, said the army was responsible for operating it.
