The claims were detailed in a report from the Israeli Hebrew-only newspaper TheMarker (as translated from Hebrew by Google):  https://www-themarker-com.translate.goog/news/2023-11-01/ty-article/0000018b-8593-dd28-a7df-959714d30000?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true

Residents of kibbutzim in the Western Negev who were evacuated from their homes after the massacre on October 7 say that the houses were broken into, vandalized, and some of them had the few valuable items left in them after the disaster looted - according to them, apparently by IDF soldiers, who are staying in the area for operational purposes. But according to the residents the victims, when they contacted the police and asked to file a theft complaint, were told that there was no way to handle their complaint since it was an area that had been declared a closed military area - and that they should contact the army, which they said did not handle their complaints.

In the Eshkol Regional Council they say that two weeks ago a complaint was received about a theft from a house in Holit - which was forwarded to the IDF and led to the opening of an investigation at the Israel Defense Forces. According to the council, yesterday (Tuesday) another complaint arrived from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak, which was brought to the attention of the army.

According to Zohar Chaimi, a resident of Nir Yitzhak whose son Tal Chaimi was kidnapped to Gaza, his house was broken into while he was staying at a hotel in Eilat - and he is afraid of his belongings. "We left the houses as they are, some people have already returned once or twice to take equipment. The army put padlocks on doors that terrorists broke in, but these locks were broken and the members of the kibbutz tell about computers, electrical equipment and mattresses being taken."

[...] "There was looting, that's for sure. How much was looted - that's another question," says Eli Hershkowitz, a resident of Holit and a "Haaretz"-TheMarker photographer in the south, who now lives in Ofakim after being evacuated from his home, where he was besieged on the day of the massacre. When he returned to patrol the kibbutz he discovered that his house had been ransacked. "It turned out that there were unidentified soldiers in the kibbutz who went around the houses and raided them - looking for jewelry and gold," he says. "These are people in uniform, not intruders who jumped over the fences, because it is impossible to enter the kibbutz. There are positions of soldiers around all the fences. I know that complaints have been made to the police, but they claim that it is a military area and that is why they are not responsible for it and do not handle it. We contacted the Gaza Division and the military police."

Hershkowitz returned to the kibbutz five days after the outbreak of war to rescue dogs and cats - and entered his home. At this point the house was intact, but when he returned a week later he discovered that it had been ransacked. "They stole thousands of shekels in cash. They took gold-plated pendants and even gold-plated coins," he says. "They rummaged through every drawer in the house, opened the closet and looked for things inside. I have an old saboteur's knife - they stole it. They stole things that have personal value. This happened in six houses in Holit."

You just can't make this stuff up!

Two Israelis Arrested for 'Looting Music Festivalgoers Killed in Oct 7 Attack'
https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64115

Two Israeli men were indicted on Wednesday for allegedly looting music festivalgoers killed in Hamas's October 7th attack.

The story is only being reported in the Israeli media.

From Mako.co.il (as translated by Google):  https://www-mako-co-il.translate.goog/men-men_news/Article-7531954dd8eab81027.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

The South District Attorney's Office filed an indictment today (Wednesday) against two residents of Beer Sheva for theft under aggravated circumstances of property belonging to those murdered at the "Nova" outdoor party near Ra'im, where hundreds of young people were massacred by terrorists.

The two, 49-year-old Meir Armo Hajjaj and his cousin, 33-year-old Golani George, are accused of traveling the day after the massacre to the area near the Ra'im parking lot where the party took place, which was defined as a closed military area.

The two traveled together with a third accomplice (the two refused to reveal in the investigation who it was and he has not yet been arrested by the investigators of the Yoav unit) and arrived at one of the police checkpoints near the Gilat intersection in the Negev. The policeman explained to them that there is no entry into the Gaza Strip from the direction of Ofakim since it is a closed military area, but the two gave him a false representation: "We came to help the victims and their families." The policeman believed their version and explained to them that they would be able to get to the party complex from the direction of Nivatov.

The three collected a lot of property from the area belonging to those murdered at the party. Among other things, valuable equipment, work tools that were on the bar in the party complex and speakers were stolen from vehicles and stalls. In addition, they stole jewelry handmade by one of the murdered, the late Dor Malka, who planned to sell it at the party.

After that they left the place with a lot of loot. Ten days later, intelligence information reached the Yoav unit police officers that the two together with another person had looted the property of those murdered at the party. The police arrested the two. They found in the house of one of them a box full of jewelry bearing the name of the late Malka, which was stolen from his car, as well as other tools. The police also seized from Hajag 86 grams of a dangerous drug that he stole from the car of one of the murdered.

The two, through their attorney, attorney Amit Weizman, denied stealing the property from the murdered. They claimed that they bought the jewelry from a Beer Sheva resident without him knowing that it was taken from the party area. The police did not believe their version because they did not give the name of the person from whom the jewelry was purchased.

The Israeli site News1 reported the duo is accused of stealing 60,000 shekels worth of property ($15,600).  https://www-news1-co-il.translate.goog/Archive/001-D-477230-00.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

The Israeli outlet TheMarker reported last week that Israeli residents of kibbutzim in Western Negev said their homes were looted by Israeli Defense Forces soldiers after they were ordered to evacuate in the wake of Hamas's Oct 7 attacks.
