Palestinian Territories – Israeli forces struck the Gaza Strip on Friday, as the UN’s top court was due to rule on a plea to halt the military offensive over accusations of “genocide.”
In a statement Friday, the Israeli army said its “troops are continuing operations against terror targets” in the southern city, where they had “destroyed weapon storage facilities” and tunnel shafts. On Friday, a local source reported helicopters firing at the camp and renewed artillery shelling in the area.
As the hostilities continued, the International Court of Justice is set to rule Friday on a plea to halt the Israeli military offensive in Gaza over accusations of “genocide”. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor sought arrest warrants on war crimes charges against Netanyahu and his defence minister as well as three Hamas leaders.
