Brazil orders police to investigate Israeli soldier on vacation in country for 'war crimes'

Brazil has initiated an investigation into an Israeli soldier accused of war crimes based on social media evidence, as reported by the Hind Rajab Foundation.
Israel's Foreign Ministry confirmed it helped the former soldier leave Brazil after anti-Israel elements sought the investigation.

The war has resulted in over 45,800 Palestinian deaths and widespread destruction in Gaza, displacing around 90% of the population, according to local health officials.
