Important

[@trackingisrael] is causing significant harm, undoing months of careful research and efforts. The Israeli media has frequently referenced it in their reports, as they have identified a way to combat the phenomenon that me and other colleagues have been carefully monitoring and addressing.

The Israeli military knows it cannot completely suppress social media posts, which are vital for documenting events for investigators on the genocide in Gaza. So they have exploited the Genocide Tracker through unprecedented Israeli media coverage on it, which has recklessly exposed hundreds of soldiers. However, the majority of these cases that Genocide tracker reveal don’t show any crimes, just the soldiers’ mere presence in Gaza.

The outcome? Soldiers go private and advise their peers to stop sharing or documenting their time in Gaza. This leads to entire units ceasing to post valuable information. The IDF gets happy

Not once has he shared an account that I wasn’t already aware of, but I choose not to reveal them. There must be a balance in when and why you share their identity. There are more responsible ways to address the issue. They simply don’t care, which leads to one of two conclusions:
1.They are aware they are causing harm, raising serious questions about the people behind it. (You know who Tirawi is)
2.They are both ignorant and arrogant.

When Genocide Tracker first started with only some few followers, I sent them a message through a third party: You are not experienced enough to handle this. What you’re doing is reckless and will result in lost information. Unfortunately, they didn’t respond to the advice and persisted in their approach.

The main issue with the page is that they mainly focus on soldiers in Gaza who just post pictures of themselves in the strip. The majority have not committed an evident crime on tape. By doing so, they are essentially assisting the IDF’s efforts to make them aware of closing their accounts and don’t reveal more info,. Which makes it harder for us to gather crucial, accurate information. I have previously exposed names of soldiers, but I spend hours carefully weighing the risks and benefits before doing so. When I mention them, it’s because they have committed terrible crimes.

Since the page was promoted by Israeli channel N12 (today by Yediot Ahronotc Israel’s largest newspaper), the number of videos from Gaza has decreased significantly. Many accounts have gone private, and some followers of the 160K followers of the page are often spamming soldiers which leads to soldiers accounts made private and closed.

Genocide Tracker, please stop. If you lack the experience to handle this responsibly, you are doing extremely more harm than good. If you want advice, my colleagues and I are willing to help. Post all footage, but avoid mentioning if there is no crime . But please, stop ruining the work that so many of us have put in. The problem is that you don’t understand the consequences of your actions.

Once again, stop—or rethink your approach. Not many of your followers on this platform fully understand the implications. The Israeli mainstream media is praising your efforts, you’re doing what the IDF couldn’t convince its soldiers to do in a whole year

For those reading this post: Tag them, DM them, comment on their posts telling them.

Thank you.

The PDF leaked today isn’t a list of soldiers or mossad members at all. It’s probably a leak from a cellphone company, or a hospital, etc.

Does Ynet know this? Yes. But why write? It’s a message to soldiers: You are being monitored—wink wink, be careful. Don’t publish things.

“We only expose those finished and are outside Israel”
🤦🏻

🧵Last weekend, a legal complaint filed by [@HindRFoundation] resulted in the brief detention of an Israeli officer in Cyprus, accused of committing war crimes in Gaza

On Saturday, the MFA intervened, leading the officer’s immediate removal from Cyprus & his return to Israel ->

https://twitter.com/alarabytv/status/1858450077645508630

• Sources in Cyprus told me that the officer arrived in Limassol on Wednesday, Nov 13, with his wife, and stayed at a local hotel for three days.

• On Thursday night, a legal complaint was filed against him, supported by substantial evidence of his involvement in war crimes ->

• MFA: Israeli foreign ministry

• The evidence against him is clear and compelling:

- incitement to harm property in Cyprus.
- Incitement to & involvement in acts of genocide.
- Willful destruction and burning of civilian property, including a mosque and a residential home.
