The Israeli military has reportedly warned about 30 soldiers and officers who fought in the Gaza Strip to avoid traveling abroad after pro-Palestinian groups filed war crimes charges against them.

At least eight of them, who traveled to Cyprus, Slovenia and the Netherlands, were told to leave those countries immediately for fear of being arrested, reports the Israeli news site Inet.

The Israeli military (IDF) does not currently ban soldiers from traveling abroad, but assesses the risk to those who have served in Gaza before approving their request.

Since the start of the war, the military has asked soldiers not to post footage of their activities during the Gaza conflict on social media, to avoid being used against them for a potential criminal investigation in another country.

Journalists covering the soldiers in Gaza were also asked to blur the soldiers' faces for the same reason.

Despite this, soldiers continue to post videos and photos on their personal social media accounts, including those that show violations of military orders and may be against international law.
