The ICJ hearings deal with the broader topic of control of the occupied West Bank, annexed East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, but they could put added pressure on Israel over its military campaign in Gaza.
Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen fired two anti-ship missiles at a civilian ship carrying humanitarian aid to Yemen on Monday, U.S. Central Command said. One of the missiles caused minor damage, but the MV Sea Champion, a Greek-flagged, U.S.-owned bulk carrier, successfully unloaded its grain at the port of Aden, Centcom said.
At least 29,195 people have been killed in Gaza and 69,170 injured since the war began, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack and says 238 soldiers have been killed since the start of its military operation in Gaza.
