IDF soldier confesses to looting Gaza home during war

An Israel Defense Forces soldier confessed on Tuesday to stealing a credit card from a home in northern Gaza during the recent offensive against Hamas and using it to withdraw NIS 1,600 in Israel.

The soldier, who serves in the Givati infantry unit's reconnaissance battalion, was arrested last week with one of his comrades. The second soldier was released after his friend confessed.

Following the soldier's confession, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit relayed: "The IDF examines every incident that is not in line with the laws of the state and the principles of the IDF."

The army's police investigative unit launched a probe into the allegations last month after receiving a complaint.
