to give an advisory opinion on Israel’s legal obligations after the country

Israel says it has killed thousands of militants, without giving evidence. Thewhat it said was a Hamas “command and control center” located beneath a hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.

“I can tell you from having visited what’s left of Gaza’s medical system, that death on this scale has a sound and a smell that does not leave you,” the U.N.'s Fletcher said.KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Some 40 world leaders announced their support Friday for the creation of a new international court to prosecute those most responsible for Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.The special tribunal aims to target senior Russian leaders for the “crime of aggression,” which underpins the countless war crimes Ukraine accuses Russian forces of committing since the start of the war in 2022.

Because Russia is not a member of the International Criminal Court, it cannot prosecute Russian President Vladimir Putin and other senior leaders for starting the conflict. Ukrainian and European leaders came up with the special tribunal as an alternative way to hold Russian leaders to account.The court will be formed following a joint agreement between Ukraine and the Council of Europe, the continent’s top human rights organization.

Since early in the conflict, Kyiv has been pushing for the creation of a special tribunal that goes beyond prosecuting war crimes that Ukraine alleged Russian forces committed — including bombing civilian infrastructure, killing civilians, rape, taking hostages and torture. Russia denies those claims.

“If we want true justice, we should not look for excuses and should not refer to the shortcomings of the current international law but make bold decisions that will correct those shortcomings that unfortunately exist in international law,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said during a visit to the Netherlands in 2023.The ransacking continued through Friday night. Three witnesses told the AP that dozens of armed men stormed into at least two U.N. warehouses, pushing past police and local security guards who were protecting the facilities. The warehouses were nearly empty before the men arrived.

“There were organized gangs,” said Ahmed Abu Awad, a resident of western Gaza City, where some of the looting took place.Yahya Youssef, another witness, said that for two straight nights on western Gaza City’s streets, he saw dozens of men engaged in gunfights with police and security guards who protect U.N. and aid groups’ facilities.

Both men said Israeli drones and aircraft were flying over the area while looting was underway.An Israeli strike Friday night killed three people — two tasked with guarding the area in western Gaza City and a child — the Hamas-run interior ministry said in a statement. Staff at Shifa hospital, which received the bodies, confirmed the deaths.
