Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
SDEROT, Israel, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The city of Sderot, Israel, and the emergency response organization Zaka have filed court papers against the militant Palestinian organization Hamas.
Zaka announced Wednesday that it and Sderot Municipality are taking Hamas's political leader, Khaled Mashaal, to the International Court of Justice in the Hague to face charges of crimes against humanity, the Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday.
Zaka head Yehuda Meshi-Zahav and Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal said the case against Mashaal, who is currently in exile in Syria, is based on the deaths and injuries of civilians hit by Qassam rockets fired by Hamas.
The lawsuit, prepared by lawyer Nick Kaufman from the Israeli State Prosecutor's Office, cites the rocket attacks fired from Gaza as well as anti-Israel statements made by Mashaal.
Mashaal has repeatedly said Palestinians are within their rights to engage in "armed resistance" against Israel, including the use of terrorism against civilian targets.
