On Friday, South Africa initiated legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing Israel of committing "genocidal" acts in Gaza.
In response, Israel rejected the case, expressing strong disapproval.
According to a statement, the ICJ application related to alleged violations by Israel of its obligations under the Genocide Convention, and said that “Israel has engaged in, is engaging in and risks further engaging in genocidal acts against the Palestinian people in Gaza”

The Israel-Hamas conflict has been marked by pivotal moments of violence and tension. The war escalated dramatically on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Shemini Atzeret holiday, including the massacre at the Nova Music Festival. The assault, which involved a barrage of rockets and the infiltration of militants into Israel, resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people, with families targeted in their homes in kibbutzim.
The brutal nature of this attack prompted Israel to declare a state of war, followed by a complete siege of Gaza. The humanitarian toll was staggering, with over 1.4 million Palestinians displaced in the ensuing weeks. The war continued with significant losses on both sides, including the deaths of high-ranking individuals such as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. On October 17, 2024, Sinwar was killed in an Israeli operation, marking a key turning point in the conflict

Yemen’s armed forces have intensified operations against Israeli military targets, including a successful strike on a site in Yaffa using the Palestine-2 hypersonic missile. This is part of their broader support for Palestinians amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Yemen's actions also include drone strikes and missile launches aimed at Israeli installations and vessels in solidarity with Gaza’s resistance. Yemen’s military vows to continue these operations until Israeli aggression ends and the Gaza siege is lifted.

He stated that Yemeni forces could easily target and destroy it, as they did with previous U.S. carriers. This comes in response to increasing U.S. military presence in the region. Al-Houthi also warned Saudi Arabia to prevent further aggression and dismissed Israeli threats, emphasizing Yemen's operational capability far beyond its shores.

The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, has released a chilling video titled "No One Will Be Left to Tell the Tale... Time is Running Out," sending a stark warning to Israel. The video highlights the dire consequences of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's continued delay in finalizing a captive exchange and ceasefire agreement. It specifically raises alarms about the lives of Israeli captives held in Gaza, with the brigades making clear that the delay could lead to irreversible harm. The warning comes amidst Israel’s ongoing military aggression in Gaza, which has already claimed the lives of numerous Israeli captives over the past year. Israeli media recently reported on a failed rescue mission that tragically resulted in the death of captive Sahar Baruch, 25, while attempting to free another Israeli, Noa Argamani. This incident has intensified concerns about the risk to captives, as public opinion in Israel shifts, with 74% of Israelis now supporting a comprehensive deal to return all captives, even if it means ending the war.

In a bold operation, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, freed kidnapped Palestinians held by Israeli forces during a daring ambush in Beit Lahia, Gaza. The operation resulted in the deaths of three Israeli soldiers, who were shot at close range while fortifying a building. The fighters seized Israeli weapons and liberated civilians held captive inside the structure. This marks another major escalation in the ongoing conflict, with reports of further casualties following additional attacks in the region, including the death of two Israeli soldiers in an explosion in Jabalia. Al-Qassam’s tactics shift, now incorporating martyrdom operations, signaling a new phase in their resistance against Israeli occupation forces.
