NGOs file ICC case against Israeli commanders over killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza

Two NGOs are bringing a case before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, against senior Israeli military commanders for allegedly authorising the murder of the four Al Jazeera journalists and two freelancers. The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) have named the Israeli chief of general staff and seven others. They also accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “presiding over a strategy to eliminate journalists.” Their case is based on investigations reconstructing the attack, intelligence reports and expert military analysis.
