A second Israeli soldier accused of war crimes in Gaza has left India after a criminal complaint was filed, according to a lawyer close to the case. The soldier's identity has not been made public and it remains unclear whether his departure was prompted by the complaint or if his holiday had simply ended. This is the second such incident, as another Israeli soldier was found vacationing in India in June after a similar complaint was filed.
The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) has filed complaints against both soldiers for alleged involvement in unlawful destruction of civilian property and other war crimes in Gaza. India has come under scrutiny for its diplomatic and military support for Israel during the conflict, including shipments of arms and military components to Israel during the period.
