"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."
"Cherri's family home, which his grandparents had built decades ago in central Beirut, was bombed by Israel a few hours before a ceasefire was established between Hezbollah and Israel on 26 November 2024."
"During the 13-month war Israeli strikes killed about 4,000 people in Lebanon. There was no evacuation warning before the strike, and the bombing damaged three floors of the apartment building."
Ali Cherri, a Lebanese-French artist, has filed a legal complaint in Paris regarding an Israeli bombing of his family home in Lebanon, which resulted in the deaths of his parents and a domestic worker. This case marks a rare instance of an individual pursuing war crimes charges related to Israeli actions. The bombing occurred shortly before a ceasefire on November 26, 2024, and caused significant damage to the building. Cherri seeks an investigation to classify the attack as a war crime and hold those responsible accountable.
