The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has filed a complaint with the ICC and called for the immediate arrest of Rabbi Avraham Zarbiv, an Israeli soldier in the Givati Brigade, based on his individual criminal responsibility under Article 25(3)(a) of the Rome Statute.

It is imperative that Rabbi Avraham Zarbiv is apprehended and prosecuted without delay. His actions, and the impunity that often shields perpetrators of such crimes, cannot go unchallenged.
