Israeli army withholding info on forces amid intl. arrest fears
The Israeli regime’s army is reportedly refraining from releasing information concerning its troops amid fears of their coming under arrest abroad for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip.
The regime’s public broadcaster carried the report on Wednesday, saying the army had changed its media policy so it could prevent identification of the forces overseas.
Over the past months, international efforts have been ramped up towards prosecution of Israeli forces due to their perpetration of war crimes across the occupied Palestinian territories.
In November, the International Criminal Court (ICC)’s Pre-Trial Chamber I issued warrants of arrest for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant "for crimes against humanity and war crimes” committed from at least October 8, 2023 until at least May 20, 2024, the day the prosecution filed the applications for warrants of arrest.
It marked the first instance in the court's 22-year history that it was issuing arrest warrants for Western-allied senior officials.
According to Hebrew-language reports, around 50 complaints have been registered against Israeli troops for their committing war crimes, especially in Gaza, across some 10 countries.
The developments came amid the Israeli regime’s ongoing war of genocide against the coastal sliver that has so far claimed the lives of more than 45,900 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
The Israeli regime launched the war last October following a retaliatory operation staged by Gaza’s resistance movements in response to Tel Aviv’s decades of occupation and aggression against Palestinians.
Also on Wednesday, the Israeli military admitted to the deaths of at least three of its forces in northern Gaza, where the regime has intensified its campaign of deadly aggression and siege.
It also reported that an Israeli trooper had received serious injury during battle in the Palestinian territory.
