The I-Unit's investigation revealed that Israeli soldiers posted a trove of social media content that inadvertently documented potential war crimes in Gaza, presenting lawyers with a unique opportunity for prosecution.
Palestinian novelist Susan Abulhawa described recent events as potentially the first 'livestreamed genocide' in history, highlighting the role of technology in documenting conflict.
International law expert Rodney Dixon noted the wealth of evidence provided by the soldiers through their own postings, stating, 'It's a treasure trove which you very seldom come across, something which I think prosecutors will be licking their lips at.'
The I-Unit's findings challenged the narrative presented by Western journalists, revealing a stark contrast between the complexity they sought to portray and the clarity of soldiers' social media posts.
