Israeli soldier visiting India accused of war crimes in Gaza's Khan Younis Submitted by Azad Essa on Wed, 08/19/2026 - 15:08 Hind Rajab Foundation files second complaint in India accusing an Israeli soldier of war crimes over demolitions of civilian property in enclave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi during a press conference in Jerusalem, on 26…
The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a second war crimes complaint in India against an Israeli soldier for alleged involvement in the unlawful demolition of civilian property in Gaza. The complaint, filed on Tuesday, alleges that the soldier deliberately demolished buildings in Abasan al-Saghira, Khan Younis Governorate between March and April 2024.
This follows a previous complaint filed in June against Eitan Gilboa, another Israeli soldier who shared images and videos of his battalion's destruction in Gaza. The lawyer representing the foundation stated that India has obligations under the Geneva Conventions and international law to address credible allegations of grave breaches, preventing Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes from traveling to India with impunity.
The foundation alleges that the demolitions followed the pattern of the "Yellow Line" expansion and reflect the broader destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza, which has seen around 250,000 Palestinians killed or injured since the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023.
