South Africa has filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, saying the actions of the Israeli armed forces against Palestinians in Gaza have a "genocidal character." It's also calling on the court to order Israel to stop its attacks.
The International Court of Justice in the Hague is the United Nation's highest court. Its decisions are binding, but it has little means to enforce them. Israel has rejected the filing, citing that it lacked both "a factual and legal basis."
Israel is widening its air and ground offensive against Hamas, which is classified as a terrorist organization by many countries. Now, the Israeli military is claiming to have destroyed a newly discovered Hamas hideout.
