The newspaper "Israel Today" revealed that an officer in the Israeli occupation army was forced to flee Cyprus, where he was on a tourist trip with his wife, to avoid "legal pursuit," according to what the newspaper reported.
The newspaper pointed out that the escape of Officer Elisha Liefman came after the Belgian Hind Rajab Foundation published video clips of him fighting in the Gaza Strip, in which he says in one of them, "We will not stop until we burn all of Gaza."
According to the newspaper, the officer received an urgent call from the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which met with the Ministry of Justice and decided that the officer must leave Cyprus immediately before he is prosecuted on charges of war crimes and genocide.
The Hind Rajab Foundation website stated that the complaint filed by the human rights organization included filming Officer Liefman setting fire to civilian property. He was also seen pointing to destroyed civilian homes in Gaza, and talking about forcibly displacing Palestinians and encouraging settlement.
The foundation also referred to the Israeli officer's social media posts during his visit to Cyprus, in which he incited violence against a Lebanese restaurant.
