  "account": "The Hind Rajab Foundation, a pro-Palestinian group based in Belgium, has filed another criminal complaint against an Israeli individual residing in London. The organization contends that this individual, who previously served as a reserve soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces and operated a D9 bulldozer in the 603rd Combat Engineering Battalion, engaged in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide while stationed in the Gaza Strip.\n\nHRF alleges that the individual used starvation as a weapon of war, specifically through the demolition of the Great Ocean Mills flour production facility in the Morag Corridor on May 25, 2025. The foundation asserts that this demolition took place during a severe food shortage in the Gaza Strip, and that the soldier documented the event on social media. HRF further claims that the individual was involved in over 60 controlled demolitions of buildings and extensive areas in the Gaza Strip.\n\nThe organization has also presented photographs and footage showing the soldier holding a humorous sign at a school in Gaza City and participating in military operations in Lebanon. HRF is urging British authorities to arrest the individual and investigate his actions. They seek immediate questioning of all Israelis about their IDF service upon entering the UK.\n\nThe foundation's head of legal affairs, Natasha Brack, argues that the individual should not be allowed to leave Britain, as he may return to reserve duty. They are also demanding that all Israeli adults entering the UK be questioned about their IDF service, particularly their activities in Gaza and Lebanon. The fate of the complaint and any potential legal action remains uncertain at this time.",
