The Belgium-based Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israeli Brigadier General Yehuda Vahn, Al Jazeera reports.

HRF says Vach was in command of the “establishment and enforcement of an unlawful ‘kill zone’ in the Netzarim Corridor, a zone it said is characterised by ‘the deliberate targeting of civilians — particularly children — by sniper teams and mobile armoured patrols operating with impunity under Vach’s orders”.

“The complaint was based on powers of attorney obtained from the families of two Palestinian children who were summarily executed by Vach’s troops”, HRF said in a statement. ​
