Israeli War Crimes

Democracy Now!: Class-action lawsuit filed against Moshe Ya'alon, former Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defenses Forces, currently in the US. He is being sued for alleged war crimes committed during the Israeli shelling of a U.N. compound in the Lebanese town of Qana in 1996. Hundreds of civilians were killed in the bombings. They had taken refuge in the compound following Israeli attacks on their villages.

Similar suit filed against Avi Dichter, the former head of Israel's Shin Bet security service. Dichter is being sued on behalf of the family members of 14 Palestinians killed during an IDF assassination attempt on a Hamas leader in Gaza in July 2002.
