The Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas expresses gratitude towards South Africa for the latter’s taking legal proceedings against the Israeli regime over Tel Aviv’s ongoing genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.

South Africa says Israel’s response to the offensive launched by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group on October 7 had breached the Genocide Convention, as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague holds a hearing against Israel for Gaza’s “genocide” case.

The spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) says Israel is hiding the true number of casualties within its military and the extent of damage caused by its continuous assault on the Gaza Strip, stressing that any misstep by the regime to escalate the conflict will mark its downfall.

Dozens of American rabbis have disrupted the United Nations General Assembly in New York to urge Washington not to stand in the way of an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

The Yemeni military says it has fired a barrage of rockets, drones and cruise missiles targeting a US ship in the Red Sea in a “preliminary response” to a recent deadly attack by the US Navy that sank three boats and killed nearly a dozen people off the coast of the Arab country.

A top UN human rights official has warned that Israeli strikes targeting leaders of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group on Lebanon’s soil are a breach of international law.
