A Lebanese-French artist has filed a legal complaint in a Paris court about an Israeli bombing of his family home in Lebanon that killed his parents and a domestic worker, claiming the attack could constitute a war crime.

The suit, filed with the French war crimes unit on Tuesday, is a rare instance of an individual pursuing war crimes charges for an Israeli bombing. It is also the first time a French court has taken a case over Israel’s bombing of Lebanon.

Israel has been accused of numerous war crimes for targeting civilians, public infrastructure and medics, and for forced displacement in Lebanon and Gaza, but no one in the country has been held legally accountable. It has also been accused of committing genocide in Gaza.

Ali Cherri, the artist who filed the suit, said: “Our demand is that an investigation is opened so that we know for a fact what happened, to name this attack as a war crime against civilians, and hopefully being able to name the people responsible for this.”
