'Deeply Sick': IDF Murder Porn Channel Compared to Horrors of Abu Ghraib

Content posted to the Telegram platform, reportedly by the Israel Defense Forces, described as "full of hatred, dehumanization, and genocidal glee."

_ Promising "exclusive content from the Gaza Strip," a Telegram channel reportedly operated by a unit of the Israel Defense Forces regularly posts grotesque videos and images that depict the killing and mutilation of Palestinians—often accompanied by celebratory captions and emojis._

Citing an unnamed senior military official, the Israeli newspaper Haaretzreported Tuesday that the channel—titled "72 Virgins — Uncensored"—is run by the IDF Operations Directorate's Influencing Department, which is tasked with carrying out psychological warfare initiatives.

"The Israel Defense Forces denies that it operates the channel, but a senior military official confirmed to Haaretz that the army is responsible for operating it," reported the newspaper, which published screenshots of some of the content that has appeared on the channel since its launch on October 9—two days after the deadly Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.
