On Thursday, Israel's military joined the Spotify Wrapped trend with a twist. The IDF shared a post featuring top Hamas and Hezbollah leaders eliminated in 2024, highlighting their counterterrorism efforts.
The post on X showcased Israel’s actions to eliminate terrorists, dismantle Hezbollah structures, and protect civilians. The IDF framed the list as part of their 2024 operations against these groups.
The post received widespread criticism. Many accused the IDF of trivializing a conflict that has caused thousands of civilian deaths. Critics called the approach insensitive and disrespectful.
Some viewers created their own fake Spotify Wrapped posts, accusing Israel of war crimes. The controversy quickly escalated online, sparking debates about the post's appropriateness.
