The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has condemned the targeting of a convoy of ambulances in Gaza by Israeli forces on Friday. The attack resulted in the deaths of 15 people and injured more than 60 others. The targeting of medical teams and ambulances is considered a war crime. The conflict in Gaza has led to overcrowded hospitals and a shortage of fuel, endangering the lives of patients.

The German government has approved a draft law to prosecute sexual violence in conflict zones as a war crime and a crime against humanity. This measure would expand the existing war crimes definition to include sexual assault, sexual enslavement, and forced pregnancy termination. The law aims to uphold the rights of the victims and allow them to participate actively in the criminal trial as co-plaintiffs. The move was prompted by numerous accounts of sexual assault since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
