Original: French judges probe war crimes complaint against Israeli army in Lebanon: Lawyer

French judges have opened an investigation into a war crimes complaint filed against the Israeli army over its actions in Lebanon, according to the complainant's lawyer. The probe means French magistrates will examine allegations that international humanitarian law was breached during military operations. The case could test French courts' willingness to pursue universal jurisdiction claims tied to the Middle East conflict.

Why now: The filing of a war crimes complaint in a national court against the Israeli army is a legally significant and contentious escalation tied to ongoing fighting involving Lebanon.
