Contrary to rumors on social media, no Israeli soldiers have been arrested in Mexico, the Foreign Ministry says.

The statement follows reports last week that the Foreign Ministry is aware of at least 12 cases in which complaints were filed abroad against Israel Defense Forces soldiers, accusing them of war crimes in Gaza.

The reports come amid a campaign by the Hind Rajab Foundation, a nonprofit based in Belgium, to identify Israeli soldiers who have published videos to social media in which they commit, claim to have committed, or appear to endorse committing potential war crimes, and to file complaints against the soldiers on that basis.
