BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

Twelve investigations have been launched against Israeli soldiers in connection with war crimes committed in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, Channel 12 reported. These probes, initiated in various countries: Brazil, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Belgium, the Netherlands, Serbia, Ireland, and Cyprus, have intensified scrutiny of "Israel's" military actions and sparked significant political debate.

The report is based on data presented earlier today to a security cabinet subcommittee headed by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar.

The soldiers under investigation were advised by Israeli authorities to leave the countries conducting the probes to avoid legal repercussions. To date, no arrests have been made.

A case that drew international attention

One notable case concerns a soldier who was involved in the demolition of civilian homes in Gaza as part of the Israeli occupation's genocidal campaign. Brazilian authorities ordered an investigation into his actions, forcing him to flee the country, based on the recommendations of Israeli authorities.

In fact, Israeli media highlighted cases where four soldiers were investigated in four countries: South Africa, Sri Lanka, Brazil, and France. The investigations stem from complaints filed by the Palestinian organization Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), which actively monitors the movements of Israeli soldiers abroad and seeks legal action against them.

Channel 13 reported, "These investigations mark the beginning of a reality that will accompany us for a long time." The growing concern within the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Justice over these incidents conveys the potential challenges ahead.

Political backlash 

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid strongly criticized the leadership's handling of the situation, stating, "The fact that an Israeli reservist had to flee Brazil at night to avoid arrest for actions in Gaza represents a massive political failure of an irresponsible government that simply does not know how to function."

Lapid further questioned the current leadership's effectiveness compared to Palestinian efforts on the international stage, calling for a formal investigative committee and a robust media strategy to protect "Israel's" legal and political interests.

Lapid concluded his critique with a call to action, saying, "Regular and reserve soldiers should not fear traveling abroad due to the risk of arrest."
