المشتبه بهم الرئيسيون: التحقيق في جرائم الحرب الإسرائيلية في غزة
These are the officers and commanders responsible for executing Israel's war in Gaza. The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is investigating war crimes and crimes against humanity. Here are the prime suspects.
The Prime Suspects
DAWN submitted to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) a list of over 40 individual Israeli military officers who were involved in the first five weeks of the war Israel declared following the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. Each individual officer had command responsibility over units involved in the fighting or bombardment of Gaza between October 8, 2023 and November 13, 2023, or were involved in imposing the siege on Gaza in that time.
Each "Prime Suspect" card includes the name, rank, photo, and role of an individual Israeli commander. DAWN compiled the list of officers exclusively from official Israeli military publications that confirmed the presence of specific military units in specific locations at specific times. (One entry only was verified through a television interview with a commanding officer of the unit in question.) The list includes officers from the rank of lieutenant-general and up who command units no smaller than battalion level forces. It covers nearly all branches of the Israeli military, as well as the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the unit that administers the siege on Gaza.
DAWN is publishing individual "Prime Suspect" cards identifying each officer on a rolling basis on this page.
