Israeli army reservist 'flees' India after war crimes allegation filed Submitted by Azad Essa on Thu, 06/18/2026 - 14:23 Eitan Gilboa likely left India days after Hind Rajab Foundation filed a complaint calling for his arrest Eitan Gilboa, left, with a fellow Israeli soldier (Hind Rajab Foundation) Off An Israeli army reservist on holiday in India, who was accused of war crimes by the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), appears to have fled the country, a lawyer associated with the case told Middle East Eye on Thursday. According to the lawyer who filed the case and asked for anonymity over security concerns, Eitan Gilboa, a member of Israel's 271st Combat Engineering Battalion, is likely to have left India, where he was vacationing, a few days after the complaint was filed. The latest development comes just two weeks after the Brussels-based HRF filed a complaint with Indian authorities seeking the arrest of Gilboa for alleged crimes against humanity in Gaza. The organisation said that Gilboa was involved in the demolition of residential areas in Gaza, which he documented in videos and photos that were shared on social media.
