At least 24 people were killed by Israeli strikes this Saturday, July 20 in the Gaza Strip, said the emergency services of the Palestinian territory devastated by more than nine months of war between Israel and Hamas. The Israeli army claimed to have “eliminated terrorists” in strikes and fighting in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, whose attack on Israel on October 7 sparked the war, saw in these strikes a “response” from Israel to the opinion rendered the day before by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which deemed “illicit” the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967. A decision described as “historic” by the Palestinians and “false” by Israel.
According to the Lebanese channel Al Mayadeen, affiliated with Hezbollah, Israeli F35 fighters were responsible for the attacks in Hodeida. The report states that oil refineries at the port of Hodeida were affected.
