After ICJ ruling, Israel says it ‘has not and will not’ carry out Rafah operations that could destroy civilian population


Israel’s National Security Council and Foreign Ministry issue a joint statement responding to the International Court of Justice’s ruling ordering Israel to halt Rafah operations that risk the destruction of the civilian population in the southern Gaza city.

The Israeli statement says the charges of genocide brought by South Africa against Israel at the ICJ in The Hague are “false, outrageous and morally repugnant.”

It adds: “Following the horrific attack against the citizens of Israel on October 7th, 2023, Israel embarked upon a defensive and just war to eliminate Hamas and to secure the release of our hostages. Israel is acting based on its right to defend its territory and its citizens, consistent with its moral values and in compliance with international law, including international humanitarian law.
Israel has not and will not conduct military actions in the Rafah area which may inflict on the Palestinian civilian population in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part,” the statement says, echoing language used by the court in its operative clauses.

“Israel will continue its efforts to enable humanitarian assistance and will act, in full compliance with the law, to reduce as much as possible harm caused to the civilian population in Gaza.

While the statement stresses Israel’s commitment to prevent terror organizations from retaking the Rafah Crossing, Jerusalem says it remains committed to allowing aid to be delivered through the gate.

“Israel will continue to enable the Rafah crossing to remain open for the entry of humanitarian assistance from the Egyptian side of the border, and will prevent terror groups from controlling the passage.” the Israeli statement says.

Egypt has refused to reopen the crossing since Israel took over the Gaza side on May 7

Religion of Delusionals, murderers,rapist,terrorists

Rafah tonight

The IDF have crossed the barrier into eastern Rafah...

The Final battle is here

Let terrorism loss

A ceasefire proposed without the knowledge of Israel is a waste of time.

You cannot accept your own proposal and call for cease fire

AuschwitzPrefec:


Ignorance is not an excuse.

Jews have killed more Christians than any other religious group combined throughout history.

The Bolshevik Jews killed between 50-60 million ethnic Russians in a span of just 30ys since the Russian Revolution.

Muslims have killed over 1m Christians in Nigeria ,jews have killed none.

Christians will forever choose Peaceful jews over Islamic terrorists

AuschwitzPrefec:






I have said it severally that ipob is responsible for the alarming apostasy being witnessed in among your guys..

You have decided to be worshippers of Jews which you conflate for being Jewish worshippers.

So sad.

No matter the lies and propaganda, Christians will still prefer jews to Islamic terrorists

Remove lies and terrorism , Islam will die a natural death

More than 100k protest in different countries since the war started......

Zero effects.

The protests is as useless as Iran's 300 missiles

How will a protest in one country improve the security of another country

babyboy4every1:

You're just shouting that they wasted 300 missiles. Na paper isreal spend in intercepting them? Yhe fact that iran got that nerves to strike isreal means a lot.

After killing their 7 top generals ,they could only have the nerves to shot over 300 old useless drones and missiles .

What a shame

FoolishBoy419:


Iranian drones are dirt-cheap, and Iran has hundreds of thousands of ballistic missiles. Do you even know that some nations deliberately destroy their old but perfectly working weapons just to get rid of them?

7 top generals assassinated and they decide to retaliate by wasting over 300 old missiles?

What a joke

babyboy4every1:

After you just read an article and it was reported iran hit isreal airbase with 7 missiles. You still went ahead to comment zero success. Na wa for you ooo

You call this success?

You guys are funny

Appleyard:


You're right. Many people are just looking at the damage cause per the volume of deployment without considering the significance of the attack itself.

What Iran has done is "setting a precedent" for future occurrences. The strike entails that, from henceforth, any such direct attack by the IDF on Iranian targets would be met with a counter attack, something that has not been the case in time past. There is a reason the US and other allies are pressuring Israel not to retaliate. Iran has proved that it can slice through what has been known as the most densest air defense coverage in the world.

A second strike would be more devastating than this because Israel won't have the luxury of a 12-days notice to prepare and call in their allies to support their defense.

Write off Iran to your own peril.

Setting precedent with a 1% success rate.

You guys are funny.....
You guys pressured Iran to waste over 300 drones and missiles for nothing

FoolishBoy419:


All thanks to Iran for alerting Israel's western allies and inviting them to the theater with slow-moving drones. I'm sure you have not read that the vast majority of all of the missiles sent to Israel were intercepted by Jordan, Britain, and USA. UAE, France, and Saudi Arabia have also been rumored to have partucipated.

If you want to know how good Israel's defenses are, look at how they handle Hezbollah missiles. They do well against their cheap rockets but the ballistic missiles and drones rarely miss their marks in Israel. They hurt over 18 IDF members just yesterday with a Shahed.

Why waste over 300 drones and missiles when you know very well it will be intercepted 99%.

Iran is a joke

motayoayinde:


Iran doesn't mind receiving the "Hamas treatment".
All it asks is that: if them born Israel well, make them attack Iran directly.

By the way, Iran is the only country to have attacked Israel directly in their over 70 years of unfortunate existence.

Iran na your mate?

Attack that couldn't kill an ant.

Iran is the most over hype military in the world....

With Iron dome, Nigeria can beat Iran in an all out war

motayoayinde:


In a hit and run attack abi?

Now they have the opportunity to massacre all the the Iranian generals, Iran is even daring them to do so!
Where are your idf thugs?
Where is the "strongest army" of hospitals and refugee camps?
This is the 6th day.

Let them do "Pim" make Iran hear.

If Iran have the guts to kill just 1 Israeli, Iran will receive the hamas treatment.

Firing some useless missiles is no retaliation

FoolishBoy419:


No be 7 top generals, na 7 Ayatollahs

If Iran fires missiles at Israel and then kill just 1 Israeli ,you will see the definition of retaliation.

Iran as the most powerful military in the Arab world is a joke

FoolishBoy419:


Who told you that it was seven generals? Do you guys ever bother to read beyond what you see on reports titles?

Israel wouldn't be able to do jackshit if Iran were to kill an IDF general outside the territory of Israel. They'd be forced to either do a symbolic retaliation like what Iran did or start a war that they'd certainly lose unless their Western lapdogs come to their aid. Ordinary Hezbollah has been penetrating their defenses for 6 months now

Israel killed 7 top Iranian generals and Iran wasted over 300 missiles for nothing.

What a joke

FoolishBoy419:


Here's one from Bloomberg, a Zionist propagander outlet:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-17/foiling-iran-s-missile-attack-probably-cost-more-than-1-billion

The estimate was literally made by an IDF general. Now say thanks to me for helping your lazy self.

$2b for 7 top Iranian generals....

What do you think will happen if Iran kills 1 IDF general

Israel did it alone when they killed 7 top Iranian generals ..

Swift and precise strike, no noise

FoolishBoy419:


Get updated and stop embarrassing yourself. Iran spent 60 million dollars to attack while Israel spent 2 billion dollars to defend. it's all over the news

Fake news spread by Muslims to make themselves feel better.

Show me a credible news outlet that posted it

Floky215:
Self delusion is allowed and never a crime...?

How many missile made it to the base...?
The only damage there is the crater it caused in the open field where it impacted and the IDF have out that image both in photo and video on SM..!!

All the images about five or so where any of the Iranian projectile impacted are all out...one is even on the road it landed...!!

The successful hit

Footage of the victorious hit

michlins:
Iran have one of the cheapest drones out there. That's why Russia was packing them to bomb Ukraine.

Meanwhile it cost Israel about $1bn last night to defend those drones and missiles

Cheap and ineffective....

tolufase:





It's not the % we are looking at but the target which was the base used by IDF to attack the Iranian consulate.

This is hit

rottennaija:


Israel spent $1.3b. US, UK, France spent how? We don't know. This was for an attack of 5 hours.

If Iran sustain the attack for 24 hours, that's how they will spend $5b

Source?

Islamic media......

Without lies, Islam will die a natural death

Biodun556:


Those 170 missiles are just distractions

The 7 successful missiles are the ones meant for targets

7 top generals killed and this their retaliation?

with iron dome ,Nigeria can successfully beat Iran

The terrorists celebrating here yesterday night hoping Iran will kill everyone including women and children in Israel whilst over 300 missiles were fired towards Israel are now shouting genocide in Gaza today after learning that war is not won by emotions.

They only cry when they are not the ones doing the killings.

Death to all Islamic terrorists

Islamic terrorists and their sympathizers are now disguising as Christians to gather support because of one tiny Israel...

It pains them when they are not the ones doing the killings


Am Yisrael chai

Iran just wasted Billions of dollars to appease Islamic terrorists and their sympathizers.


300 missiles/drones fired....
0% success rate.


This is what the best military from the Arab world can show case? Some ballistic toothpicks?

Waste of time and resources

descartes400:


Lying is always required!!!! It's also very funny since the Israeli press indicates minor damage, specifying that 99% of the missiles and drones were intercepted. One might even believe to hear them that the missiles participated in the renovation of the neighborhoods where they fell...

In short, always the truth, especially when observing the few videos circulating about what they call “minor damage”… The military base in the Negev is on fire and there are many explosions!
Reporters on site confirmed that the Iron Dome was incapable of stopping the missiles in the face of saturation.

Reports from terrorists sympathizers like you.

Iran just purposely wasted over 300 missiles to make the Arab world happy.
