Update: Date: 46m ago (11:55 GMT) Title: Complaint for war crimes lodged in Romania against Israeli soldier Content: The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has filed a criminal complaint before the Romanian Prosecutor's Office against an Israeli soldier from the Givati Brigade. HRF accuses Orel Benyaish of 'committing war crimes and acts of genocide' during Israel's ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip. In a statement, HRF said that 'the evidence submitted includes images and videos posted by Benyaish himself, showing his direct involvement in the destruction of residential buildings in the Netzarim corridor'. 'He appears in uniform, smiling in front of homes rigged with explosives. In these same images is fellow soldier Yuval Vagdani, also of the Givati Brigade, who was photographed in the moment explosives were being placed for a controlled demolition. The two acted together, knowingly and deliberately, in destroying civilian homes without any military justification,' it said. The Belgium-based HRF was formed seven months ago and has pulled together lawyers and activists from around the world to prepare cases against Israeli soldiers based on social media content shared by the soldiers themselves. 🚨🚨The #HindRajabFoundation filed a criminal complaint in #Romania against Israeli soldier Orel Benyaish of the Givati with Yuval Vagdani, already under investigation in Brazil, Benyaish executed deliberate demolitions of civilian property in info ⬇️… — The Hind Rajab Foundation (@HindRFoundation) March 31, 2025 Update: Date: 1h ago (11:40 GMT) Title: Photos: Aftermath of Israeli strikes on Khan Younis Content: Update: Date: 1h ago (11:35 GMT) Title: Three killed in Israeli strike on southern Gaza's Abasan al-Jadida Content: Three people, including two children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a house in the town of Abasan al-Jadida, east of Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.

Update: Date: 1h ago (11:25 GMT) Title: 'Shocking event': Israel's defence for killing emergency workers weak Content: Jeffrey Nice, a human rights lawyer who led the prosecution of former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, at the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, has told Al Jazeera from Canterbury in the UK that the killing of 15 emergency workers by Israel was a 'shocking event'. He said the defence offered by Israel that it was a 'case of ambulances and fire trucks being used to camouflage Hamas fighters' is a very 'bare assertion' given that it seems clear that the vehicles were marked with the Palestinian Red Crescent logo, and the personnel wore clothes 'that identified them as such'. 'Not only do people working in humanitarian aid enjoy the protection that all civilians in conflict enjoy, but they are further specially protected because it is a crime if they are authorised personnel … to attack them,' he said. Israel 'has an obligation not to open fire under any circumstances where civilians may be involved, unless it could show that the likely outcome is proportionate in terms of military advantage gained, as opposed [to] civilian casualties lost, and that doesn't seem to have been addressed in this case, and rarely is', Nice said. Update: Date: 1h ago (11:15 GMT) Title: Death toll in Israeli attack on Khan Younis rises to 6 Content: We earlier reported that two children had been killed in the attack on a house in central Khan Younis. Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are now reporting that four more Palestinians were killed in the attack. Khan Younis, in the south of the Strip, has been targeted with air raids on at least four occasions today. Update: Date: 1h ago (11:10 GMT) Title: Forced displacement from Rafah to exacerbate 'catastrophic conditions': Ministry Content: Gaza's Interior Ministry has condemned the Israeli forced displacement order issued for nearly all residents of Rafah, saying it was 'a prelude to an escalation of crimes against our people'. 'These new threats are likely to exacerbate the catastrophic conditions suffered by the residents of the Gaza Strip due to the war of extermination, displacement, and recurrence of displacement for 18 months,' the statement posted on Telegram said. It added that the development comes amid 'the ongoing policy of blockade and starvation practiced by the occupation under the full knowledge and sight of the world'. The ministry called on the international community and mediators to urgently intervene and pressure Israel to halt the forced displacement of Rafah residents and 'the horrific suffering it is causing to citizens'.
