Israeli Soldier Visiting UK Faces War Crimes Complaint

The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a criminal complaint in the United Kingdom against Lidor Dafna, an Israeli reservist believed to be visiting the country, over alleged war crimes in Gaza. Dafna, who served in the 603rd Combat Engineering Battalion, is accused of taking part in the May 2025 demolition of a flour-producing facility as Israel’s blockade was causing widespread starvation. The foundation says footage Dafna posted on social media shows an Israeli military bulldozer demolishing wheat silos in southern Gaza. It urged UK authorities to act before he leaves the country; the Metropolitan Police has not yet responded to Al Jazeera.
