Israel condemns a ruling by the International Court of Justice ordering it to stop its offensive.
This was the outcome Israel sought to avoid: a demand to halt a military operation the government regards as essential for the defeat of Hamas and the return of hostages.
But there is no immediate indication that Israel will change course as a result of Friday's ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Its tanks are pushing closer to the centre of Rafah and just as the decision was being read out, a series of air strikes sent a huge black cloud billowing over Rafah.
Some of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hardline colleages have reacted with rage, accusing the court of antisemitism and siding with Hamas.
The government’s former spokesman, Eylon Levy, noted that the presiding judge, Nawaf Salam, was Lebanese and “couldn’t return home safely if he ruled the ‘wrong way’.”
But for Mr Netanyahu’s critics, this is one more sign of Israel’s growing international isolation.
What a beautiful trainwreck of a headline. They've since changed it to something that follows some semblance of English syntax: "No sign Israel will change course after Gaza ruling"
