South Africa’s trumped-up international genocide case against Israel began today in the Hague, Netherlands in the International Criminal Court (ICC). As we have previously reported, South Africa has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and is now attempting to convince the ICC to accept the case and open an investigation into Israeli military actions during the war against Hamas.

Israel has repeatedly said – and shown – that its war is not against Gazan civilians, but rather against Hamas.

The IDF published horrifying information today regarding the sub-human conditions in which hostages have been kept. Evidence shows that Hamas held hostages in cages in a tunnel in the south-Gaza city of Khan Yunis where the IDF is currently engaged in heavy fighting. This revelation explains why Hamas refused to allow the Red Cross to visit the hostages.

Additionally, Israeli forces in Judea and Samaria foiled a massive weapon smuggling operation from Jordan including around 50 small arms and M16 automatic rifles. As part of the operation, over 20 Palestinian Arabs involved in the plot were arrested.

Please pray for favor for Israel on the international stage and especially with the judges of the ICC. Please pray for the hostages remaining in Gaza for hope, protection and for their immediate release. Lastly, please pray for protection over Israeli security forces who continue to operate around the clock on many fronts.
