In the Middle East, Israeli forces have reportedly carried out new attacks in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of more than 30 people. Despite a ruling from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordering Israel to cease its military operations in the city of Rafah, Israeli officials have indicated that they will continue with their offensive. This decision follows Israel's dismissal of arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against its political leaders and the leaders of Hamas. Redmond Shannon reports.
