Israel presses on with strikes on Gaza Strip despite International Court of Justice ruling

The Israel i military has carried out attacks in Rafah , in Gaza's south, and Jabalia, in the north, over the past 24 hours.Mediated negotiations are set to resume next week, according to an official with knowledge of the matter.

After more than seven months of war in Gaza, the mediators have struggled to secure a breakthrough, with Israel seeking the release of hostages held by Hamas and Hamas seeking the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel and an end to the war. Israel began the offensive after Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israeli communities on October 7, killing around 1,200 people and seizing more than 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.The Israeli military said it had carried out "operational activity in specific areas of Rafah" on Friday, including killing militants, dismantling part of Hamas's tunnel system, and locating stashes of weapons.

Further north in the coastal territory, where the Israeli military is trying to prevent Hamas from re-establishing its hold, the IDF said its troops in Jabalia "eliminated dozens of terrorists in close-quarters combat and aerial strikes". At the heart of the problem lie the two main crossings through which around 300 trucks of aid a day had been flowing into Gaza before the offensive began.Rulings in the UN's top court are considered binding, but enforcing them is another story. Just minutes after the ICJ ordered Israel to stop its assault, the IDF bombed Rafah again.Israeli troops seized the Rafah crossing into Egypt, which has been inoperative since.
