The Israeli Operation Directorate's Influencing Department is reportedly running a xenophobic Telegram channel, featuring content filmed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza.
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Operation Directorate's Influencing Department, is running a Telegram channel, named "72 Virgins - Uncensored", that shares gruesome footage taken by invading soldiers in the Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Footage and photos, shared by the channel's administrator, are usually accompanied by captions celebrating Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Influencing Department is responsible for the occupation's psychological warfare operations which target Palestinians and foreign audiences.
Zionist racial hatred for Palestinians comes as no surprise, as official Israeli accounts have battled hard to normalize an anti-Palestinian sentiment, in conjunction with its aggression on the Gaza Strip. Israeli officials have also publicly stated opinions shared by the channel's administrators, highlighting deep-rooted systematic xenophobia and extremism within Israeli society.
The channel run by the IOF, has also propagated racial derogatory stereotypes, to an engaged Israeli audience, in an attempt to dehumanize Palestinians, a tactic employed by Nazi officials against minorities during World War II.
Moreover, specific footage highlights occupation forces desecrating the bodies of Palestinian martyrs in the Gaza Strip, which the channel's subscribers joyfully celebrate.

haaretz article referenced in this article if you don't like this one from your enlightening wikipedia search to decide whether you trust a news source or not.
Ok and? They are re-reporting what Israeli liberal outlet Haaretz said.
Also Wikipedia's biases itself depends on citations
The second citation about it being Hezbollah-aligned leads to a one-paragraph article in a French newspaper that makes no mention of Hezbollah but instead loosely claims (with no evidence) that it's tied to Iran and Syria instead lol
There's no such thing as unbiased reporting, you must always analyze the information given through the lens of the interests of the person giving it to you. This Hezbollah-aligned source, regardless of framing, is reporting on things that can be independently verified, whereas the media in my own country and the west in general has been caught in wholecloth lie after wholecloth lie. Therefore, in lieu of perfect knowledge, I choose the source whose claims are more readily corroborated by evidence.
