Israel’s war on Gaza: Dozens killed in Israeli raids on Gaza, Yemen

By Lyndal Rowlands and Zaheena Rasheed

Dozens of Palestinians have been killed as Israel’s bombardment continues across the Gaza Strip, including 12 people in three separate attacks on the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to civil defense crews.
In Yemen, at least three people were killed and 87 wounded in Israeli air attacks that targeted an oil storage facility and power plant in the port city of Hodeidah, officials said. Israeli raids also caused injuries in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli attacks come as countries called for an end to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory following a “landmark” ruling from the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
At least 38,919 people have been killed and 89,622 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza.

A recap of recent developments

Here’s a look at recent developments:

At least seven Palestinians have been killed following an Israeli attack on the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, Wafa reports.
The Israeli army says it shot down a rocket fired from Yemen hours after an Israeli attack on Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah.
Officials in Houthi-controlled Yemen said three people were killed and 87 injured after the Israeli attack on Hodeidah, which set oil storage tanks on fire.
An Israeli soldier has been “seriously injured” during fighting in the southern Gaza Strip, while two other Israeli soldiers were injured in the occupied Golan Heights, Israeli media report.
Countries have continued to respond to the ICJ’s ruling that Israel’s continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful and should swiftly be brought to an end.

ICJ ruling calls on people to fight Israeli apartheid: South Africa
The International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion shows that states “must isolate the State of Israel for continuing to… practise apartheid in Palestine,” South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola has said in a statement.
“The people of the world helped us to fight against apartheid. This ruling also called for the people of the world to help the people of Palestine, Gaza [and the] West Bank to fight this enduring apartheid by the state of Israel,” Lamola said.
Lamola added that the court’s opinion also showed that Israel’s argument that it was acting in self-defence did not hold.
“This ruling clearly shows that an occupier can’t act in self-defence,” he said.
The World Court’s ruling on Friday came following a 2022 request from the UN General Assembly and 49 submissions from member states, including South Africa.
South Africa has also separately brought another case before the ICJ, alleging that Israel is committing genocide in its war on Gaza.

WATCH: Israeli settlers continue West Bank attacks in defiance of ICJ ruling
Attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians across the occupied West Bank are relentless. They create what the ICJ has just ruled is a coercive environment meant to displace Palestinians and annex their territory.
Friday’s ICJ ruling was groundbreaking – but it has not changed the violent reality on the ground.

Israeli authorities force family out of home ahead of demolition in Qalqilya, West Bank
IsraeliIsraeli forces have raided the city of Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank and forced a family to leave their home in preparation for its demolition, according to Palestinian media reports.
The raid comes amid a recent spate of Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes and reports that Israel has illegally seized more land this year in the occupied West Bank than in the previous 20 years combined.
Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that some of Israel’s recent expansion in the occupied West Bank was retaliation against the Palestinian Authority’s diplomatic role in the growing international condemnation of Israel’s actions.
