The judges of the International Court of Justice unanimously ordered Israel to take all necessary and effective measures to ensure that essential food supplies reach Gaza without delay.

The judges demanded that Israel open more land crossings to ensure the supply of food, water, fuel and other supplies, reports Free Europe.

The Court said that Palestinians in Gaza face increasingly worse living conditions, and that hunger and starvation are spreading.

"The Court observes that Palestinians in Gaza no longer only face the risk of starvation, but that starvation is there," the judges said in their ruling.

New measures were requested by the Republic of South Africa as part of the case in which it accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza.

Israel urged the court not to issue new orders.

The United Nations Security Council previously requested an immediate ceasefire and the unconditional release of all hostages.

The United States abstained from voting, but did not veto.

The US military says it has destroyed four long-range drones launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels.

The US Central Command said in a statement on X that the drones were "targeting an American warship" in the Red Sea, reports Reuters.

The Houthis previously announced that they were carrying out attacks on ships in the Red Sea as a sign of support for Hamas in its war against Israel, and in response to those attacks, the United States and Great Britain, which lead a coalition of several countries, launched strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in January. .

Israeli airstrikes killed nine people in southern Lebanon late last night, including rescuers who were preparing to intervene after the first strike, the National News Agency reported.

This brings the number of people killed in Israeli attacks yesterday to 16, since in the previous attack another emergency aid center connected to the Lebanese Sunni organization was hit and seven of its members were killed.

The Shiite extremist organization Hezbollah meanwhile claimed responsibility for a barrage of rocket fire on the Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona in the north, in which one person was killed.

The barrage was in response to a deadly attack on an emergency room.

The Lebanese News Agency reported that the Israeli army attacked Teir Harfa last night, killing five, and another strike killed four rescuers in the coastal town of Nakura.

Two Hezbollah fighters were among the victims, the pro-Iranian Shiite organization confirmed.

The Amal organization, also Shiite, announced that one of its local commanders had been killed.

The Israeli military said it hit a Hezbollah military compound in Teir Harfa and a "terrorist cell" in Nakura.

Nearly 240 Hezbollah fighters and around 40 civilians have been killed in Lebanon, according to the Associated Press. Nine civilians and 11 soldiers were killed in the cross-border clashes in Israel.

International mediators are trying to prevent an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah amid daily violence that is mostly confined to the area along the Lebanese-Israeli border.

Hezbollah has been firing rockets into northern Israel since October 8, a day after an attack by Palestinian extremists led by Hamas on southern Israeli territory that started the war in Gaza.

The war between Israel and Hamas - 174th day.

Israeli authorities announced today that three people were wounded in an armed attack on several vehicles on a main road in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli army said the attacker fled and a manhunt was underway.

Emergency services reported that a 13-year-old boy was among the wounded.

Tensions have been high in the West Bank since the start of the war in Gaza, with Israeli forces entering the territory almost every night to arrest suspected extremists.

At the same time, armed attacks by Palestinians intensified.

Since the start of the war, Israel has arrested about 3.600 Palestinians in the West Bank, the army said.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 454 Palestinians have been killed and about 4.700 wounded in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since October 7, when the war between Israel and Hamas began.
