French-Lebanese artist files war crimes case over Israeli strike on Beirut that killed his parents

A French-Lebanese artist has filed a legal complaint in France seeking a war crimes investigation into an Israeli air strike that killed his parents in Beirut in 2024. Ali Cherri, whose family lived in the apartment for decades, is calling for those responsible to be held accountable. The International Federation for Human Rights and Amnesty International say they found no military targets in or near the building. Israel has said its air raids in the Lebanese capital were aimed at destroying Hezbollah sites, but a lawyer supporting the complaint argues that does not justify the attack under international law.
