The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has filed a criminal complaint before the Romanian Prosecutor’s Office against an Israeli soldier from the Givati Brigade, Al Jazeera reports.

HRF accuses Orel Benyaish of “committing war crimes and acts of genocide” during Israel’s ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, HRF said that “the evidence submitted includes images and videos posted by Benyaish himself, showing his direct involvement in the destruction of residential buildings in the Netzarim corridor”.

“He appears in uniform, smiling in front of homes rigged with explosives. In these same images is fellow soldier Yuval Vagdani, also of the Givati Brigade, who was photographed at the moment explosives were being placed for a controlled demolition. The two acted together, knowingly and deliberately, in destroying civilian homes without any military justification,” it said.
