Two Israeli Soldiers Flee Amsterdam Fearing Arrest over Gaza War Crimes Charges

Two Israeli soldiers vacationing in Amsterdam fled to Israel after pro-Palestine groups identified them and sought to pursue legal action against the pair for war crimes in Gaza.

This marks the first time active-duty soldiers have faced such a situation, as past cases primarily involved reservists, the Quds News Network (QNN) reported.

The two soldiers had posted images on social media from their deployment in northern Gaza, some depicting blindfolded Palestinian detainees – evidence of crimes, the report noted. They also shared updates about their trip to the Netherlands.

  • Pro tip to any soldiers, don’t TikTok the weird shit you do. This already happened during the Iraq war, that video of the guy throwing a puppy off a cliff comes to mind.
