The Hind Rajab Foundation, an anti-Israel legal group based in Brussels, filed a formal complaint to Germany’s federal prosecutor general alleging that Elkana Federman is guilty of “war crimes” and calling for the security guard at the Nova festival to be arrested.
Federman helped evacuate wounded people during the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, used a fallen Israeli soldier’s rifle to return fire until he ran out of ammunition, was shot in the leg and hid in a thicket until he was rescued.
The security guard was in Berlin, where he served as a panelist at an event on “heroes of Oct. 7.”
The anti-Israel group said Federman, who was part of an Israeli protest against aid trucks entering Gaza amid the war, during which Hamas looted such aid, “actively participated in preventing food and medicine from reaching civilians.”
The complaint invoked a German law that holds the “perpetrators of human rights violations accountable, irrespective of where the crime was committed and whether the act has any relation to the country in question.”
