Australian in Israeli Defence Force committed war crimes, report alleges

An Australian citizen who served in the Israeli Defence Force is allegedly facing accusations of war crimes related to property destruction in Gaza, according to a report by the Australian Centre for International Justice. The organization submitted a detailed criminal complaint to the Australian Federal Police (AFP), which includes satellite imagery, social media content, and witness accounts. The alleged offenses involve the destruction of civilian property and attacks on non-military targets, potentially violating international humanitarian law. The AFP has acknowledged awareness of such allegations but has not confirmed whether it will pursue an investigation. The report, spanning hundreds of pages, also suggests that up to 15 other Australians may face similar accusations.
