Men Fire Automatic Weapons, Children Dance With Loaded Firearms At West Bank Wedding Parties

On July 8-9, 2022, the Gaza Now outlet shared on its Facebook page footage from parties for soon-to-be grooms in the West Bank. At the parties, dozens of men danced with loaded handguns, M-16-style rifles, and Tavor TAR-21 rifles. Several men fired their weapons in the air on automatic, and small children and young boys also handled and danced with loaded firearms. It should be noted that almost all of the firearms and weapon accessories seen in the video appear to have originally belonged to the Israeli military.
