The Belgian prosecutor’s office says it has launched an investigation into possible war crimes committed by a Belgian soldier fighting for Israel in Gaza, US publication Politico reports.
The news site said the probe focused on a Belgian member of an elite unit of the Israeli military.
Citing multiple reports in local media, Politico said the man is a dual Belgian-Israeli citizen in his 20s from the Brussels municipality of Uccle who serves the Israeli army in the “Refaim” sniper unit.
It said the unit, which has been operating in the besieged enclave since October 2023, consists of 21 people, including three Americans, two French, a German, an Italian and a Belgian man.
