An Israeli soldier was smuggled from Sri Lanka, Wednesday, after a human rights group identified him and called for his arrest over war crimes in Gaza. The Hind Rajab Foundation said that the soldier had committed war crimes in Gaza and reported him to Sri Lankan authorities, the International Criminal Court (ICC), and Interpol, Channel 12 News reported.
The group recognized the soldier from a social media post showing him in uniform while boasting about killing a Palestinian in Gaza. This prompted Israeli authorities to instruct the soldier to return to the occupation state immediately to avoid potential arrest.
The soldier’s smuggling comes amid rising legal actions against Israelis who have taken part in the Gaza genocide. Several countries have recently responded to international pressure from pro-human rights and anti genocide groups by pursuing investigations or legal measures according to Quds News Network.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly planned to miss next month’s ceremony in Poland marking 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, citing fear of arrest over war crimes against Palestinians.
