Israeli Attacks in Gaza Continue Despite Netanyahu's Claims
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that military operations in Gaza would decrease, yet Israeli attacks persisted, resulting in the death of displaced Palestinians and massive displacement of civilians in areas like Al-Mawasi and Al Shizhayiya. Civilians reported being indiscriminately targeted by Israeli troops, leading to severe conditions, with garbage piling up, sewage issues, and illnesses spreading due to poor nutrition and sanitation.
Israeli Supreme Court Ruling on Military Service for Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Israelis
Israel's Supreme Court ruled that ultra-orthodox Jewish Israelis must serve in the military, ending their exemption. The legal decision directed the drafting of at least 3,000 men and the cessation of government support for religious study beneficiaries. However, the ultra-orthodox community opposed the ruling, leading to division in Israeli society and ongoing protests against military service.
