Pro-Palestinian organizations have filed 50 complaints in local courts around the world against Israeli reserve soldiers for committing crimes in Gaza, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority revealed on Monday. 

In a report, the Broadcasting Authority noted an increase in attempts to prosecute Israeli army soldiers abroad since the onset of the aggression on Gaza in October 2023.

"Approximately 50 complaints have been filed against reserve soldiers, with ten of them leading to investigations in the respective countries, though no arrests have been recorded so far," the report stated. 

The authority further reported that data from the Israeli army's Information Security Department showed that occupation soldiers publish approximately a million pieces of online content per day, including incriminating footage documenting their involvement in crimes carried out in Gaza, heightening their risks of exposure and prosecution.

Brazilian court orders probe into Israeli war crimes suspect

Recently, a Brazilian court directed police to investigate an Israeli soldier accused of committing war crimes in Gaza. The directive follows a complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), a human rights organization "devoted to breaking the cycle of Israeli impunity."

The HRF alleges that the suspect, currently in Brazil as a tourist, was involved in the demolition of civilian homes in Gaza as part of the Israeli occupation's genocidal campaign.

"This individual actively contributed to the destruction of homes and livelihoods," said HRF lawyer Maira Pinheiro, referencing video and photographic evidence purportedly linking the suspect to the crimes.

Victims' families have joined the case at the Federal Court of the Federal District, pushing for legal recourse against the suspect. The HRF has called for the suspect's immediate arrest, citing concerns about a potential flight risk and the possibility of evidence tampering.

The court invoked provisions of Brazil's Code of Criminal Procedure, emphasizing the need for urgent investigative measures. The decision represents a historic application of the Rome Statute by Brazil, underscoring the country's commitment to international justice.

"This is a historic moment," said Dyab Abou Jahjah, chair of the HRF. "It sets a powerful precedent for holding war criminals accountable."
