The Hindi Rajab Foundation (HRF) filed a complaint on Saturday against an Israeli-American tourist in Sri Lanka who served in the IDF and was part of the combat operation in Gaza.
The complaint filed by the Belgium-based Palestinian organization marks the first filed against an American citizen outside the United States.
The anti-Israel group claimed that the Israeli-American tourist was part of the IDF’s Combat Engineering Battalion and took part in “illegal demolitions of civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.”
The group claims to have filed more than 80 complaints against IDF veterans since the begining of 2026, with their goal being to target the ability of Israelis to “move freely.”
HRF is one of the anti-Israel organizations that has recently targeted IDF soldiers with doxxing and legal campaigns, basing its allegations on footage published by the soldiers on their social media accounts.
According to its website, it “focuses on offensive legal action against perpetrators, accomplices, and inciters of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine.” It also claims to prioritize “awareness campaigns to challenge Israeli impunity.”
According to NGO Monitor, the foundation, named after Hind Rajab, a six-year-old girl killed in Gaza City in January of last year, was formed in September.
According to the HRF website, it is a branch of the March 30 Movement, a larger anti-Israel organization, which is committed to the recognition of “genocide in Gaza.”
NGO Monitor also details that the founder of HRF, the Lebanese-born Dyab Abou Jahjah, has a long history of anti-Israel activism. He has backed Hezbollah and claimed in the past to have received “military training” from the terror group.
Following the elimination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in September, Jhajah eulogized him in a post on X/Twitter, adding he had met him in 2001, while he made a similar statement after the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
In that instance, Jhajah posted on X, “You can kill resistance leaders; Their death is a testimony against you. For history will write: They stood up, they said no, they showed the way. Millions will follow their path, hundreds of millions. Your power will fade, your dominion will end, and so will you. It is fated.”
