The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reports that 24 people have been killed and 45 others injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Baalbek-Hermel region, Lebanon, over the last few hours.
The Arab Organization for Human Rights in Britain welcomed the ICC’s arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant, calling it a first step to ending decades of impunity for Israeli leaders, supported by the U.S. and others.
The organization urged the ICC prosecutor to request Interpol, under a 2004 agreement, to issue red notices for the suspects, obligating 195 member states to arrest them if they travel there.
The decision counters the narrative that Israel’s actions are “self-defense.” While many countries pledged to comply, the U.S., not an ICC member, opposed the warrants.
This is a daily Briefing by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on day 411 of the Israeli Genocide:
The Israeli occupation committed seven massacres against families in the Gaza Strip over the previous 48 hours, resulting in 120 documented fatalities and 205 people injured.
The documented Palestinian death toll has now reached 44,176 individuals killed and 104,473 others injured since October 7, 2023.
Many victims are still unaccounted for, either buried under the rubble or scattered on the streets, and rescue and civil defense teams are unable to reach them.
Israeli warplanes bombed the Al Farouq Mosque in the Al Nuseirat Camp in Central Gaza, Saturday, bringing the whole structure down.
The news is trending on the social media in both Arabic and English. One blogger said this action raises significant concerns regarding international humanitarian law and the classification of such tactics as acts of terrorism.
The Israeli army has flattened 814 of Gaza’s 1,245 mosques and severely damaged another 148 during its intensified bombardment since 7 October, 2023, the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Gaza revealed. It further stated that these represent 79% of mosques in the Gaza Strip.
Three churches were also destroyed in this genocide on Gaza.
