I don't think the article is clear about it, contrary to your comment and a sibling. I read it as:

1. The soldiers were displaying IDF military flags at a music festival. This was not allowed by festival organizers and obviously pissed some people off.

2. These soldiers were then taken in for questioning.

It's not clear to me that these 2 were some of the specific 1,000 soldiers from that Hind Rajab Foundation report - that sounded like an associated piece of information given in the article.



> The case emerged on July 20, when both organizations filed a complaint with the Belgian federal prosecutor against two members of the Israeli army’s Givati Brigade who were attending the Tomorrowland music festival with their military flags.

> The complaint accused them of direct involvement in war crimes and acts potentially constituting genocide in Gaza — specifically, indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, torture, and forced displacement.

Seems pretty clear?


I think it's pretty clear that the criminal complaint is over genocide, not flying flags at a festival.

But flying a flag makes identification easier?


> But flying a flag makes identification easier?

Almost certainly. US DOD actively discourages carrying identifying items while traveling for exactly that reason.
