Israel intensifies attacks on Rafah despite ICJ ruling

TEHRAN, May 25 (MNA) – Israel has intensified its Rafah offensive despite yesterday’s ICJ ruling for it to halt, including bombing residential buildings near the Kuwaiti Hospital.

Israeli regime continued bombing in the Gaza Strip, including the city of Rafah, on May 25, one day after a top UN court ordered it to halt military operations against the southern city. A series of Israeli air attacks have killed dozens of people throughout northern Gaza, including women and children sheltering in Beit Hanoon, Al Jazeera reported.

Israel gave no indication that the ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) had affected its planning.

Air strikes were reported in Rafah and the central city of Deir al-Balah.

In its May 24 ruling, the ICJ said Israel must “immediately halt” its offensive against Rafah and take urgent measures to address the humanitarian crisis in the entire region. Measures should include reopening the Rafah border crossing with Egypt to allow aid to flow into Gaza.
