Israel presented its case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Thursday (local time), and rejected allegations of genocide levelled by South Africa in connection with the ongoing war in Gaza.
In the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis, an Israeli fighter jet struck a Hamas military compound and killed seven terrorists. One of the terrorists killed was a commander in Hamas's elite Nukhba force who took part in the massacre of Israelis in Gaza-area communities on October 7.
Israel's Ministry of Education is preparing for the return of students to their schools in Sderot and Shaar HaNegev. Both are towns located just north of Gaza that were attacked on October 7 and whose residents were evacuated to safer areas because of the war in Gaza.
Members of the team selected by IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi include former chief of staff Shaul Mofaz, former Military Intelligence Directorate head Aharon Ze'evi-Farkash, former Southern Command leader Sami Turgeman and former Operations Directorate chief Yoav Har-Even.
Emphasising that three months have passed since the horrific October 7 attacks, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths said that Gaza has become "uninhabitable" and demanded an immediate end to the war.
It was during investigations carried out by the IDF's Intelligence Division, that it was determined that some of them participated in the attack on October 7.
By a decision of eight votes to seven, the Supreme Court decided that the government's modification to the so-called reasonableness law should be rejected.
The dairy farms in that area were either located in places overrun during the October 7 massacre or that were evacuated due to security concerns and, as such, have taken a hit financially.
Israel continued pressing its Gaza offensive in the new year, killing a Hamas commander in an air strike and pounding more of the terror group's infrastructure, the Israel Defense Forces said on Monday morning.
