The article lists all of the soldier profiles that now contain dead or modified links. It lists the original source, the nature of the change and what material it contains that is now unavailable. Many of the soldiers have served since Oct. 7, 2023.

Her Name Was Hind, Her Foundation Takes her Killers to Court | THE HIND RAJAB FOUNDATION HRF files ICC complaint naming 24 Israeli soldiers and commanders for the killing of Hind Rajab, her family, and two rescuers in Gaza.

They write, โ€œThe remaining 22 names have now been submitted confidentially to the ICC and will be made public progressively, as national-level complaints are filed in different jurisdictions.โ€

The Hind Rajab Foundation has submitted names of 24 Israeli soldiers to the ICC for the killing of Hind Rajab and others. They include dual nationals from Europe, Latin America and North America. It will be interesting to see if any are from Canada.
