A team of lawyers in the UK plans to file a war crimes complaint today against 10 British citizens who took part in Israel’s war on Gaza, The Guardian reports.

The complaint accuses the Britons of involvement in “indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas” and “coordinated attacks on protected sites including historic monuments and religious sites”, among other crimes, according to the daily.

Prominent barrister Michael Mansfield, who is among the lawyers engaged in the case, said, “British nationals are under a legal obligation not to collude with crimes committed in Palestine. No one is above the law.”

“​If one of our nationals is committing ​an offence, we ought to be doing something about it​,” The Guardian reported, quoting Mansfield. “Even if we can’t stop the government of foreign countries behaving badly, we can at least stop our nationals from behaving badly.”
