The Hind Rajab Foundation says it filed complaints with Belgian authorities against what it says are two Israel Defense Forces soldiers who are attending the Tomorrowland festival.

“Two individuals responsible for grave international crimes — including war crimes and genocide committed in the Gaza Strip — are currently on Belgian soil,” the organization says.

The organization says additionally a group of young Israeli men were seen at the festival waving the flag of the IDF’s Givati Brigade, and that in a separate incident, a Palestinian flag was torn down in a nearby town.

Launched in September 2024, the Hind Rajab Foundation has used social media posts by Israeli soldiers, officers and reservists to locate them in an attempt to have them arrested for alleged war crimes when they travel abroad.
