As the International Court of Justice opens the South Africa genocide case against Israel, the Israeli army flattened homes in central Gaza, especially in the Nuseirat refugee camp and Deir Al-Balah. 

Meanwhile, Palestinian Resistance continued to clash with Israeli occupation soldiers in various parts of the Gaza Strip, documenting its operations through multiple videos.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 23,357 Palestinians have been killed, and 59,410 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
