HRF claims that the "unjustified dismissal" shielded soldier Shimon Avichai Zuckerman from genocide charges.

The allegations include war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide committed in the Gaza Strip during IDF service.

The complaint filed by the Belgium-based Palestinian organization marks the first filed against an American citizen outside the United States.

The IDF veteran served as a combat engineer during the Israel-Hamas War and is due to speak at Boston University on Wednesday.

Protesters in Barcelona unveil a giant portrait of Hind Rajab, a Palestinian girl killed in the Israel-Hamas War, as her mother calls for global attention to Gaza's children.

"I prefer my people above my career. And I will never say untrue things about my people, say we rape and starve and commit genocide," Guy Hochman said.

In its X post, HRF called Hochman “war propagandist and inciter,” and accused him of praising Israel’s campaign in Gaza. The post added that CLAIHR would also file a complaint.

The soldier allegedly served under the 8717 battalion, a reserve unit from the Givati Brigade, which the Palestinian org. claims is linked with "systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure."

This is the third time in the past four months that the Hind Rajab organization has acted against IDF soldiers touring the Czech capital.

The group asked Spanish authorities to detain the traveler urgently to prevent his departure and “ensure accountability,” according to the complaint.
