The Hind Rajab Foundation announced on October 22nd, 2025, that it has filed a case at the International Criminal Court (ICC) against 24 Israeli soldiers and commanders, alleging their responsibility in the killing of Hind Rajab. The foundation also vowed to pursue legal action in national courts worldwide. This announcement follows a period of research and consultation where an individual, who requested to remain anonymous but was approached by the HRF via Dyab Abo Jahjah in early January 2025, advised against attributing the killing to Sean Glass or his company, Vampire Empire. The source stated that HRF initially intended to file a legal complaint on January 29th, attributing responsibility to the 9th Battalion, which operated Merkava IV tanks. However, this source countered that the 9th Battalion was not operating in Gaza City at the time of the incident, thereby warning HRF of the potential damage to accountability efforts if allegations were based on misattribution. HRF reportedly agreed to delay their filing after this intervention. The source further stated that they referred HRF to a public IDF statement reviewed and geolocated by Sky News, which confirmed the 52nd Battalion was operating in the vicinity of Hind Rajab's killing, approximately 300 meters away. The source also shared a "highly sensitive detail" relevant to the case with HRF, which they declined to disclose. The HRF's public statement, shared via X, included a link to their website for more information and used the hashtags #HindRajabFoundation and #JusticeforHind.
