On Thursday, a Spanish judge opened a legal probe accusing at least seven Israeli leaders of war crimes for the 2002 targeted assassination of Hamas terrorist Salah Shehadeh.
According to Spanish officials, the investigation had been pending for a few years, but the timing appears related to Israel's recent incursion in the Gaza Strip.
The Spanish investigation may prompt others to accuse Israel of violating international law during Operation Cast Lead, its military campaign to stop Hamas from firing rockets into southern Israel.
Recently, we sat down with retired Lt. General Thomas McInerney and asked him about the charges coming against Israel.
McInerney, a highly decorated fighter pilot who once served as assistant vice chief of staff, came to Israel on a fact-finding tour.
McInerney addresses this issue with his unique military expertise and experience.
