The Hind Rajab Foundation, a Belgium-based legal group, has filed a criminal complaint in the Czech Republic against an Israeli soldier visiting Prague, alleging involvement in war crimes during Israel's military campaign in Gaza. The foundation claims the soldier participated in operations with the Givati Brigade, including actions at the al-Shifa hospital complex, and accuses him of crimes such as persecution of civilians and attacks on protected medical facilities. The group argues that Czech authorities are legally obliged to prosecute under universal jurisdiction, but there has been no immediate response from officials. Despite previous complaints leading to detentions and heightened security measures for Israeli soldiers abroad, no prosecutions have resulted from the group's efforts so far.
