US President Joe Biden backed Netanyahu in condemning as"outrageous" the bid by the International Criminal Court's prosecutor, who also sought warrants against leaders of Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Palestinian official news agency Wafa reported that a hospital surgeon, a school teacher and a student were among those killed in Jenin, a stronghold of Palestinian militant groups. "We have described it as a catastrophe, a nightmare, as hell on earth. It is all of these, and worse," she said of conditions in the besieged territory of 2.4 million people.
Israel launched its ground assault on parts of Rafah early this month, defying international opposition including from top ally the United States, which worried for the more than one million civilians trapped there. She said most of the displaced had fled to Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah in camps where"they lack adequate latrines, water points, drainage and shelter".The bloody carnage of the Gaza war and the 7 October attack led the ICC's prosecutor Karim Khan to announce on Monday that he had applied for the arrest warrants against leaders on both sides.
