Fact check: This video was posted by @hpsc24 on Threads.

Verdict: mostly true — Trust Score 85/100

The video depicting Israeli soldiers handling women's underwear in a Bethlehem home is authentic and was confirmed by 11 sources including Al Jazeera, Middle East Monitor, and the Times of Israel in early 2025. While the visual evidence of the soldiers' conduct is verified, the post is recycled from over a year ago and frames the incident within a broader, contested claim of a continuous genocide since 1948.

Claims analyzed (3)

  1. verified: This video was posted by @hpsc24 on Threads.
    The content is provided as a post from the Threads account @hpsc24. While the account's specific history is not widely indexed, the content matches viral posts circulating on the platform.
  2. verified: Israeli soldiers entered a Palestinian home in Bethlehem and were filmed dancing with women's underwear.
    Multiple news reports from January and February 2025 confirm that an IDF reservist was filmed wearing and dancing with women's lingerie found in a home in Bethlehem during a military operation. The IDF issued a statement condemning the behavior.
  3. mixed: A genocide has been occurring in the region since 1948.
    While a UN Commission of Inquiry found in 2025 that Israel committed acts of genocide in Gaza, and the ICJ ruled in 2024 that such acts were 'plausible,' the claim that a genocide has been continuous since 1948 is a subject of intense historical and legal debate rather than a settled international legal fact.
