A Chilean court is reviewing a criminal complaint against Rom Kovtun, a former Israeli army sniper, over alleged war crimes during Israel’s 2024 Gaza operations, including the siege of al-Shifa Hospital.
Filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation, the case relies on social media evidence showing Kovtun in Chile with other former Israeli soldiers.
