Chilling video said to show Israel’s systematic destruction of Gaza refugee camp

The Palestinian Authority’s government communication centre has shared a chilling video clip of the Israeli military’s systematic destruction of Palestinian homes and property in Gaza.

“No pause. No mercy. No humanity,” the PA’s communication centre says in a post with video footage shot from a moving Israeli tank inside what is said to be the remains of Shaboura refugee camp in southern Gaza.

“In Shaboura refugee camp, as in every other corner in Gaza, the devastation never ends,” the centre said.



ICJ to hold hearings on Israel’s UNRWA ban, restrictions on Gaza aid

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has published an itinerary for public hearings it will hold in The Hague next week to discuss Israel’s legal obligations around allowing UN, NGO and neutral state activity in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The UN has asked the ICJ to provide a legal opinion on Israel’s right to limit or bar UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) operations, as well as Israel’s weeks-long ban on humanitarian aid entering Gaza.

Some 45 countries and international organisations have submitted written statements before the hearings, which will start on April 28.

Israeli representatives are not expected to attend, but Israel’s Foreign Ministry has said it will submit a written statement to the court.
