An Israeli soldier who was accused of committing war crimes in Gaza while vacationing in Brazil has fled the South American country, reports citing Israeli media. Shortly before Yuval Vagdani fled after being wanted for questioning by the authorities in Brazil, his family said he “is not under arrest”, that they are “interested in him coming to Israel”, and that “those who need to help him are helping him”, broadcaster reported. Israeli outlet also reported that the man had fled Brazil, without giving details. Earlier, the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) accused Vagdani of participating in “massive demolitions of civilian homes in Gaza during a systematic campaign of destruction”. The HRF, in a follow-up statement, said it received information that Israel was attempting to smuggle the soldier out of Brazil.
