ICYMI: WATCH: Proton X70 On Fire At Puspakom Inspection Centre Goes Viral On Social Media
An Israeli settler has come under fire after a video surfaced showing him teasing Palestinians inside Gaza, whom Israel has denied access to water, electricity, and internet. The 41-second video, initially shared on X by @QudsNen, shows the individual playfully boasting about his access to these essential amenities while inside his home.

In a significant development on Oct 9, Israel imposed a comprehensive blockade on the already besieged Gaza Strip, further limiting access to food and water. This action followed a major attack by Hamas, one of the most significant in decades, according to media reports.
Doctors Without Borders Asia Pacific director Paul McPhun said hospitals in the region also faced the brunt of these restrictions. A dire shortage of water, electricity, and fuel, which hospitals rely on for their generators, further exacerbates the plight of Palestinians in Gaza.
While the video has sparked outrage, some social media users who support the Palestinians have reacted differently to the settler's mockery. They described Israelis as insecure and suggested that their flaunting of possessions may mask fears about an uncertain future.
User @marara_one expressed this view: "They enjoy displaying what they have, but deep inside their hearts and dreams, there is fear, not knowing when the tables will turn and what life will be like afterwards."
On another note, user @ALadiInKuwai claimed that the individual's social media account in the video was hacked, resulting in the deletion of all its content.
"He's teasing others for clout, not the people in Gaza because they don't even have internet, so the rest of the world gets to see him seeking attention," she said.
