US EditionFrench grandmother files 'genocide' complaint in Paris over Israel's Gaza killings
- In June 2024, a grandmother in Paris initiated a criminal complaint alleging that Israeli forces were responsible for the deaths of her two grandchildren, both French nationals, during an airstrike in Gaza in October 2023.
- On October 24, 2023, Janna, six, and her nine-year-old brother Abderrahim were killed in northern Gaza when their shelter was hit by two missiles launched from an Israeli F-16 following their family’s relocation after previous air raids.
- The 48-page complaint, filed with the Court of Paris' crimes against humanity section by Jacqueline Rivault, alleges Israel committed genocide, murder, and crimes against humanity, explicitly targeting Prime Minister Netanyahu, the government, and military.
- The complaint reports that two missiles struck the family’s shelter—one penetrating the roof and the other hitting the room directly—resulting in the immediate death of Abderrahim and the later passing of Janna after being hospitalized, while their brother Omar sustained serious injuries but survived in Gaza.
- This legal action highlights ongoing international legal scrutiny of the Gaza conflict, with broader allegations of genocide prompting calls for judicial investigations though no court has yet ruled on genocide in this conflict.
