Rights group sues Israeli war criminal in Germany, Austria, ICC
The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), a pro-Palestinian advocacy organization, has filed a law against an Israeli trooper for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in the Gaza Strip.
On Wednesday, the organization announced filing legal proceedings against Dror Zvi Bauer, an Israeli trooper in the regime’s military’s 614th Battalion, Engineering Corps, in Germany, Australia, and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
According to the HRF, Bauer, currently in Europe, has committed the crimes since last October, when the regime launched its ferocious war of genocide against Gaza, which went on to claim the lives of at least 47,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
Reporting on its website, the body said, “Based on the available evidence, there is strong suspicion that the accused participated in the arbitrary and internationally unlawful destruction of civilian facilities in Gaza, including private homes, hospitals, schools, and aid facilities.”
“Furthermore, the suspect publicly incited hatred and violence against the Palestinian population online, endorsing the killing of Palestinian people and the destruction of their homes in videos,” it added.
“He declared that there were ‘no uninvolved civilians in Gaza,’ implying that women, the elderly, and children were not considered innocent.”
Earlier in January, the organization’s head, Dyab Abou Jahjah, said his resolve had remained unchanged after an Israeli minister made a death threat against him after the group filed complaints with courts around the world against Israeli forces for war crimes.
On January 6, the body filed a lawsuit in Argentina against Yuval Vagdani, an Israeli trooper accused of committing war crimes in Gaza, who had fled Brazil after a case was brought against him there.
And on January 19, the advocacy group filed a legal complaint in Barcelona, Spain, against Mori Keisar of the Givati Brigade, another Israeli trooper over war crimes, violations of international law, and targeting of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
Referring to Keisar as “Sergeant A,” the organization said, “The actions of Sergeant A and his platoon demonstrate systematic violations of international humanitarian law, targeting civilians and protected infrastructure.”
