Two British Army soldiers have been dismissed after sharing graphic Hamas helmet-cam footage of dead bodies after the Oct 7 2023 attacks on Israel.
The signallers Zakariya Munir and Mohammed Salah shared clips of corpses being kicked and montages of “dead civilians lying in pools of blood”, a court martial heard.
The pair also shared a video of an Islamic State execution. Both have now been dismissed from the Army.
The court martial was told Munir found the videos and sent them to Salah. The soldiers exchanged messages about the content, with Munir telling Salah that they would not be shown in the media. Salah, a father of one, then sent them to other service personnel.
Munir was charged with four counts of sending offensive messages on a public network. Salah was charged with three counts of the same at Bulford Military Court, in Wiltshire.
Both soldiers, from the 10th Signal Regiment, denied the offences but were convicted by court martial.
