The case of Ali Saadallah Belhas et al. v. Moshe Yaalon is now available online. It concerns the complaint filed before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of people injured or killed during the bombing of the UN compound (an area protected by the UN) in Qana on 18 April 1996. The plaintiffs claimed that General Moshe Ya’alon, the head of the IDF Army Intelligence who launched the bombing, should be held responsible for the decision to bomb the UN compound but the District Court dismissed the case because it lacked jurisdiction to prosecute Ya’alon.
