It remains unclear whether the complaint influenced his departure or whether he left after completing his holiday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The development comes amid renewed calls for countries to uphold international law. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, speaking on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Monday, said multilateralism works best when international law, rules and norms are &#8220;scrupulously observed&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Second Israeli soldier to leave India after complaint<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>The latest case marks the second incident this year in which the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has identified an Israeli soldier travelling in India and filed a complaint against him.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>In June, the Brussels-based organisation approached Indian authorities seeking the arrest of Eitan Gilboa, an Israeli military reservist who was vacationing in Himachal Pradesh. HRF accused Gilboa, who was identified as a member of the Israeli military&#8217;s 271st Combat Engineering Battalion, of involvement in the demolition of civilian buildings in Khan Younis and Rafah.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>According to reports, HRF submitted material, including geolocated videos, social media posts and chain-of-command documentation to Indian authorities. Gilboa was subsequently traced by pro-Palestinian activists to locations including Old Manali and Gondla in Himachal Pradesh before leaving India.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The latest case has followed a similar sequence, with HRF identifying an Israeli soldier through publicly available information, filing a complaint with Indian authorities and the individual subsequently leaving the country.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>India has long been a popular destination for young Israelis after their mandatory military service. Many undertake an extended post-service trip, commonly known as &#8220;tiul gadol&#8221;, which can last several months.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The trend has also contributed to the informal &#8220;Hummus Trail&#8221; followed by Israeli travellers across several Indian destinations, including Kasol, Dharamkot, Goa, Hampi, Gokarna, Kodaikanal, Rishikesh, Varanasi and Pushkar.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Tourism has also featured in India-Israel bilateral cooperation.
