Israel Defense Forces video clips documenting the war in Gaza and showing preparations for combat were the fourth most-popular videos on the video-sharing Web site YouTube as of last week, and some have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, the IDF reported Sunday.



The IDF, which has also been showing the clips as free videos on demand on cable television, began making them public over the weekend, and said Sunday that more than 30,000 clips have been viewed thus far.
