How a Spanish court is 'investigating' 'war crimes' by 7 IDF officers

Looking at it from another perspective, does this mean any organization in any country is now free to file “war crimes” charges in their country against another country they have no involvement with? This impacts everyone to a larger scale. Can Spain or Norway file “war crime” charges against American military performing their duties in Iraq or Afghanistan? Or file them against American political figures whose presence would frequently be required in Europe, thus denying them the ability to perform their duties.

This at the moment is warfare on another front against Israel in an attempt to paralyze their operations not only on a military front, but on the political and personal fronts also.

It has potentially serious repercussions for everyone to INCLUDE Europeans. Will Spain in the near future decide to indite some British politicians for actions British soldiers performed in Iraq? German politicians for actions their soldiers performed in Afghanistan?

And just how does Spain get involved in this to start with? I understand why Israel is cooperating with this court case, I just can’t see Spains justification for involvement.
