An IDF reserve officer involved in the 2014 Gaza conflict was detained on arrival in the UK last month and questioned over “war crimes”.

The officer was interrogated for several hours before being released after an intervention by the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

According to the Jerusalem Post, the UK government issued an apology.

The Israeli newspaper suggested that the officer’s name had been on a list prepared by pro-Palestinian groups naming IDF soldiers involved in alleged war crimes during Operation Protective Edge.
