An advocacy group has launched legal action in Argentina and Chile, calling for the arrest of Israeli soldier Saar Hirshoren for his alleged involvement in war crimes in Gaza. The cases, filed by the Belgium-based Hind Rajab Foundation, highlight both national and international legal obligations for accountability.
The cases target Hirshoren, who is said to have been part of the 749 Combat Engineering Battalion, accused of systematically destroying civilian infrastructure in Gaza. The foundation has also filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against the entire battalion for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
