The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), a pro-Palestine advocacy group, has filed a legal complaint in Barcelona, Spain, against an Israeli soldier, continuing its efforts to hold Israeli forces accountable for their genocidal actions in Gaza.

The Belgium-based HRF announced on Saturday that the complaint targets Mori Keisar of the Givati Brigade, accusing him of war crimes, violations of international law, and the targeting of Palestinian civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Referred to him as “Sergeant A” in the statement, the HRF noted, “The actions of Sergeant A and his platoon demonstrate systematic violations of international humanitarian law, targeting civilians and protected infrastructure.”

The legal filing accuses the soldier of “genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.”

HRF stressed it has extensive evidence of Sergeant A’s crimes between January and March 2024. These include using a civilian home in Gaza for military operations, firing a grenade launcher at a clearly marked UN school in Gaza City, demolishing two civilian homes in Khan Younis, and engaging in indiscriminate shooting at civilian homes while being cheered on by other soldiers.

The organization also reported that Sergeant A’s platoon forcibly displaced civilians in Gaza.

“The Hind Rajab Foundation urges Spanish authorities to take immediate action by investigating and detaining Sergeant A to ensure accountability for the atrocities committed,” the statement said.

HRF initiated legal proceedings against Keisar in partnership with the Palestinian Community in Catalonia, relying on evidence linking him to multiple war crimes.
