Legal complaints filed in Argentina, Chile to arrest Israeli ‘war criminal’

The Hind Rajab Foundation, which has been pursuing international legal cases against Israeli soldiers documented to have committed war crimes in Gaza, announces a new case in the two South American countries.

The organisation, which was founded in honour of six-year-old Hind Rajab killed by Israeli tanks in the enclave earlier this year, said soldier Saar Hirshoren had been documented destroying civilian infrastructure.

“A parallel case has been submitted to the International Criminal Court targeting the entire 749 Combat Engineering Battalion, naming 24 members for systematic war crimes. The Foundation urges swift action to prevent Hirshoren’s escape and ensure accountability.”


Families of Gaza captives threaten Supreme Court action against Netanyahu

Families of Israeli captives held in Gaza have said in a message directed at Netanyahu that there are indications he is working to undermine negotiations with Hamas for an exchange agreement.

“Refusing to end the war means sacrificing the abductees and reducing the chance of their return alive. This is a violation of three legal provisions in two basic laws – the constitutional rights to life, human dignity, and burial with dignity,” they wrote, according to Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

“We will petition the High Court of Justice if you continue to abandon our loved ones to the hands of Hamas.”
