Videos of multiple residential blocks being destroyed by huge explosions in the Gaza Strip have been shared on Facebook by Israeli soldiers, UK-based Metro reports quoting an investigation by Bellingcat.

Bellingcat tracked a single IDF combat engineering battalion, 8219 Commando, using posts made by its members on social media as they moved across Gaza, demolishing tunnels, houses, and mosques.

One of the clips shows multiple demolitions of residential tower blocks next to Al-Quds Hospital in Tel al-Hawa, a neighbourhood in Gaza City.

In another, two of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) soldiers lean against a balcony as a huge explosion behind them sends a thick cloud of grey smoke into the sky.

The relaxed scene is also evident as the commandos smoke shisha and raise glasses in another elevated location as a detonation takes place.
