Israel Offensive in Gaza: International Court Orders Halt
Bloody Battle for Rafah Tests Israel's Resolve
Deadly Airstrikes Pound Civilian Targets
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued a landmark ruling, ordering Israel to immediately cease its military offensive in the Gaza Strip city of Rafah. The offensive, which began on May 6, 2024, has resulted in dozens of civilian deaths, including children, as Israeli airstrikes and shelling have pounded multiple locations.
The ICJ's ruling comes as the battle for Rafah intensifies, with the Israeli military facing fierce resistance from Hamas militants. The once-populated city, which once housed over a million Palestinians, has become a ghost town as civilians flee the violence. The offensive in Rafah is seen as a critical test of Israel's ability to contain the conflict within the Gaza Strip.
The ICJ's order has drawn mixed reactions. Israel has condemned the ruling, claiming it is biased against them. However, human rights groups have welcomed the decision, calling it a victory for justice and a step towards ending the bloodshed.
