The Palestinian Authority and Gaza's ruling group Hamas both welcomed on Thursday the International Criminal Court's arrests warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister over the Gaza war.
"The State of Palestine welcomed the decision" to issue the warrants against Netanyahu and ex-defence minister Yoav Gallant, the Palestinian Authority said in a statement published by official news agency Wafa. Hamas said the warrants for the Israeli leaders were "an important step towards justice and can lead to redress for the victims in general".
The latest developments come as Israeli strikes on Gaza killed dozens in Beit Lahiya and Gaza City, with helicopters targeting tents of displaced people.
In Lebanon, Israeli raids continued all day on Beirut's southern suburbs. Strikes were reported in the country's south, amid ongoing battles between Hezbollah fighters and Israeli forces.
