🧵 Exclusive on Israeli war crimes published on soldiers' social media accounts
Sergant Simha Lubling 890th battalion:
“You have to much china stuff at your kitchen. I was happy to help you residents of Khan Younes (as much as I had time to). GO SUE ME AT THE HAGUE BASTARDS” ->
On 16 January, he torches a Palestinian factory and writes
“ADD A CHARGE TO THE INDICTMENT IN THE HAGUE FOR CONTRIBUTING TO GLOBAL WARMING. GLAD TO HELP.” ->
“You work hard to take over a house” shooting at a home for fun, and then next day he publishes a video showing a D9 destroying everything. He writes: “
“AND THE NEXT DAY, A D9 COMES AND DESTROYS EVERYTHING... WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER?” ->
23 December. In a message to Gaza residents. An Explicit call to Amalek ->
“MAY YOU HAVE THE LEAST PEACEFUL SABBATH AND THE MOST DEAD AMALEKS” ->
Playing with displaced/killed Palestinian children’s toys
4 of January
“I'm really sorry I tore off the closet doors, but Yinon & Hanan took the double bed, & I had to give up and sleep on a mattress on the floor, which blocked the closet doors from opening. Submit an official claim to insurance; I'm sure they'll make a refund for you”
From the same house in Khan Younis:
[graffiti] Simcha’s bed
“And of course with such warm, loving hospitality, I felt just like part of the cute family of little terrorists who cleared their house for me, so I hung up family pictures” ->
I leave this section for the readers ->>
Looting & wearing women clothes and jewelry from Khan Younis.
He writes: “Joshua also took care of the Christmas tree in Khan Yunis. Not on our righteous soldiers….Finished decorating the tree moved on to decorate me” ->
Here he writes about Gaza and Amalek:
“Honestly, I would preferred to sleep at home tonight. eat soup, sit in a bar…..But there is still work to be done & the effort & loss so far must not be in vain. WE'LL DO ALL OF THE ABOVE THINGS WHEN THERE IS NO AMALEK GAZA IN THE WORLD”
Burning homes and writing Nakba 2023 on a home
Writes the soldier:
“What do you think we are doing in Gaza?” Showing him shooting on a home for fun
In a clear letter to the ICJ:
“We are really sorry for the damage we caused, it was intentional. Regarding the fire... it wasn't me, it was Platoon 2 and I was very angry at them and they promised to do it again in the future).”
Full letter:
“The Khan Younis Country Club honors and appreciates IDF soldiers and opens its gates to all reservists and regular soldiers for a fun day at the spa and pool. Thank you very much (we won't tag them this time so I don't find myself sued in The Hague, but you deserve publicity and five stars.”
Also a message to the U.S., who are apparently giving these out for free.
“And you should know that the LAW missile is a lousy missile and not worth ten thousand shekels. An RPG for one thousand shekels is better.”
“I developed a hobby in Gaza” by smashing a toilet for no reason + lego playing + complaining about his fellow soldiers on a D9’s for destroying olive trees and ruining the good view for me
Military proverb: “Tough in training, easy in battle🥚🥚”
Throwing eggs looted from a Gazan home and playing a game to see who can smash a distant window with them.
Here he clearly announces that he stole toys belonging to displaced/killed Palestinian children back to Israel
“So today, it is allowed to publish who I rescued from Gaza in a special operation, Roti. Only her got a name, so suggestions for other names for the rest are welcome.”
Story (1): “They simply saw my hair and didn't let me into the pool without a hijab”
Story (2): “I tried for 5 minutes to enjoy the pool and the view, imagining I was in Pushkar. Then the IDF arrived and ruined the whole little paradise. Free Palestine, free Gaza, & free me.” ->
He is wearing a Gush Katif t-shirt & declaring which Gazan house he wants
“Basically, I marked the house I wanted there. The problem started when the tank fired a shell at it. It escalated when Platoon 2 burned it down & the problem was solved when engineering unit destroyed it”

Spare us the theatrics. The Israeli military now claims that Avraham Zarbiv will be “summoned” by his commanders for a so-called clarification of his actions.
This is an outright lie — low-effort propaganda.
Let’s be clear about who these commanders are: Colonels Liron, Daniel, Eli, and his company commander, Major Netanel (a former settler from Gaza)— the very same officers who have been publicly glorifying Zarbiv since the beginning of the war.
There is documented evidence of these commanders sharing, praising and celebrating his videos, calling him a “hero,” and crowning him “the king.” Zarbiv himself couldn’t stop bragging — in a public speech this past May, he spoke openly about the endless praise he received from his chain of command. One of these officers even created a grotesque “Zarbiv Gaza” sticker — a vile slogan for Flatten Gaza.
He’s been honored. Promoted. “By his commanders”
He’s delivered speeches at Givati Brigade ceremonies as a distinguished figure in recent months.
Summonsed for endorsement.
An example of chain of command that hasn’t just committed genocidal war crimes — it’s celebrated them.
Here is his direct commander Netanel
“Film him while he’s doing it”
These are some of the remarks made by his colonels (commanders) regarding the videos he shares, which depict him demolishing homes and making genocidal statements.
Kenigsfield — a name that’s totally Middle Eastern, right? — openly advocates for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza’s residents. He even invents a claim that most Gazans are «Egyptian»
«A suggestion I honestly don’t understand why it hasn’t been implemented:
In Gaza, there are 2 million residents — let’s say half a million households.
Give each of them a million dollars to move to Egypt or Jordan.
Show me one household that would say no.
Of course, the Americans would have to get those countries to agree to take them.
Most of them are of Egyptian origin anyway 🤷♂️”
«And destroy every [fertile bit] of land in Gaza in order for [the hostages] to return[.]»

"Yes[,] I'm in favor of releasing terrorists whom we will later hunt and kill in order for all [the hostages] to come back home. I'll do another 500 days of reserve service and destroy every [fertile bit] of land in Gaza in order for [the hostages] to return[.] I have difficulty sleeping at night knowing they are there, [it's] hard."
¹Jameel Al-Masri, 63 yo hospital worker, was used as a human shield by the 435th Rotem Battalion, Tomer Company, under the command of Major Yehuda El Kobi, a fanatic settler from Hebron, & his deputy, Captain Ori Ziv for 3 months
This morning, Israeli Officer Major. Yaniv Golan, Company Commander in 22nd Carmeli Battalion who fought in Gaza for months & is involved in executions of civilians.
“Residents of Gaza are the biggest Nazis. They are our enemy. Not Hamas. We shouldn’t be making this distinction”
