The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a criminal lawsuit in the United Kingdom against an Israeli reservist who visited the country. Pro-Palestinian activists allege the reservist is implicated in war crimes in Gaza. According to Al Jazeera, the soldier is from the 603rd Combat Engineering Battalion and was involved in the demolition of a flour mill in May 2025. The lawsuit claims this action contributed to famine in Gaza.
A video of the demolition, posted by the soldier on social media, has been submitted as evidence. "If the authorities allow him to leave the UK, he will commit new crimes. When a state bids farewell to a suspect whose actions are documented, it violates its own obligations to prevent genocide and punish participation in it," stated Nacha Barak, head of the legal department at the foundation.
This pro-Palestinian organization previously filed a request with the International Criminal Court in The Hague to investigate the actions of Israeli medical personnel and health system leaders. These allegations involve suspected torture and causing death to Palestinian prisoners at the Sde Teyman camp. The list of individuals named in that complaint includes former Health Ministers Moshe Arbel and the Former Minister of Health, Israel Medical Association Chairman Professor Zion Hagai, association legal advisor Lea Wapner, and head of the association's ethics committee Dr. Yossef Walfish.
