AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Lebanese-French artist Ali Cherri has filed a war crime complaint in Paris regarding an Israeli bombing that killed his parents and a domestic worker in Lebanon on November 26, 2024. The bombing, which occurred shortly before a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, destroyed his family home in Beirut. Cherri seeks an investigation to determine the facts, classify the attack as a war crime against civilians, and identify those responsible. Amnesty International investigated the strike and found no evidence of a military target, suggesting it should be investigated as a war crime. Forensic Architecture aided in preparing the complaint, identifying the munition used and creating a 3D model of the damaged building. This is the first time a French court has taken a case over Israel’s bombing of Lebanon.
