The Hague: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will hold a public hearing on the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of Palestine. The parties can present their arguments regarding the Israeli occupation. The trial is being held at the court headquarters in the Dutch city of The Hague. The process will start on February 19 next year.
The 193-member UN General Assembly, which met last December, asked the ICJ, known as the World Court, to intervene in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This move came before the ongoing tension in the region. So the Court’s emphasis is likely to be on the Israeli occupation alone.
Meanwhile, Israel, which has been carrying out heavy airstrikes for 17 days, has launched a ground attack on Gaza as the next step. Hamas said an Israeli soldier was killed in a ground attack east of Khan Younis in Gaza. Israel also confirmed this. Israel also reported that three people were injured.
Israel’s military spokesman, Daniel Hagari, said the ground offensive was aimed at eliminating Hamas, which is preparing for the next phase of the war. The ground attack was carried out in the name of finding 222 hostages. Hagari stated that one of his soldiers was killed and three wounded during the attack. Meanwhile, Hamas said its fighters had encountered Israeli armored forces infiltrating southern Gaza.
The incursion took place to the east of Khan Yunis. Hamas said it killed an Israeli soldier and destroyed military equipment.
According to the Ministry of Health, 5,087 Palestinians have been killed so far in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. 2,055 of them are children. 1,119 women were also killed. The number of people injured in the attack so far has reached 15,273.
