A video of an Israeli soldier wearing a dinosaur costume firing rockets into the Gaza Strip sparked outrage on social media.
The first spread of the video came through a channel on Telegram, followed by more than 10,000 people, before it spread on a number of other platforms.
The video clip documented the mockery of the Israeli soldier who appeared disguised as a dinosaur, as he emerged from a tent and headed toward a group of missiles, launching one of them, then climbing onto a tank and beginning to dance to the tunes of the song “Boom” by the American singer Gucci Mane and the Brazilian Sven.
The Telegram channel that published the video was created on October 9, to share dozens of videos of Israeli army operations in Gaza - according to what the Middle East Eye website published.
