Anti-Israeli group tries to arrest IDF soldiers at Tomorrowland
An anti-Israeli organization known for pursuing IDF personnel internationally has filed formal complaints with Belgian federal prosecutors because 2 soldiers attending the renowned electronic festival are "directly implicated in some of the most egregious crimes committed during Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza."


In a statement on their website, the foundation said the following: "These individuals are not fringe actors or incidental participants. They are directly implicated in some of the most egregious crimes committed during Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza, including:Indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, homes, and hospitals;The use of torture and human shields;Mass arbitrary detention and forced displacement of civilians;And the deliberate infliction of conditions calculated to destroy the Palestinian population, consistent with genocide under Article 6 of the Rome Statute and the Genocide Convention."
Both soldiers are attending, alongside thousands of other Israelis, the "Tomorrowland" electronic music festival, among the world's premier events of its genre and a major attraction for European youth. The organization withheld the soldiers' identities, presumably for legal considerations.
Last week's festival events, scheduled to continue on Friday, transformed into venues for multiple pro-Israel displays, featuring Israeli flag presentations and interactions between Israeli and Iranian attendees.
The Hind Rajab Foundation expressed fury over the display of a Givati Brigade flag by festival participants during one performance. "The Givati flag, publicly displayed in the heart of Belgium, is not just a military symbol. It has become, for millions, a symbol of impunity, destruction, and ethnic cleansing. Its appearance in Boom raises urgent political questions: Why are those involved in grave international crimes able to walk freely, celebrate in public, and glorify their actions without consequence?" it said.
