A recent report uncovered that the Israeli military's “Loot Unit” has plundered substantial amounts of weaponry, cash, and gold since the onset of its wars and aggression on Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, the Israeli daily Ynet reported, adding that the unit has amassed enough weaponry to equip “a small army.”

Lt. Col. Sharon Kotler of the unit stated, “We don’t like to just take in loot, keep it, and maintain it without making a profit from it. I always ask what the value of this loot is.”
