Israel bombed the Gaza Strip, including Rafah, on Saturday, despite an order from the UN’s top court for it to “immediately halt” its military offensive in the southern city.
In spite of the ICJ ruling, Israel carried out strikes on the Gaza Strip on Saturday morning as fighting raged between the army and Hamas’s armed wing, reports Agence France Presse.‘It is becoming a living hell’: residents of Dublin housing complex protest against anti-social behaviour In its ruling, the ICJ said Israel must “immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”.
Wafa reported that medical sources had confirmed the death toll and said that 17 others had sustained injuries in the attack. Al Jazeera reported that the Israeli military strike struck a family home in Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood, killing a woman and injuring other people. It attributed the information to “colleagues on the ground”.
