The court also issued warrants for Israel's former defense minister as well as Hamas's military chief Mohammed Deif.

Hezbollah on Thursday claimed seven attacks on Israeli soldiers in and near south Lebanon’s Khiam, after official media said Israel troops were dynamiting homes and buildings in the town.

The European Union's foreign policy chief said International Criminal Court arrest warrants issued Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas's military chief Mohammed Deif were "binding" and should be implemented.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the International Criminal Court of anti-Semitism after it issued arrest warrants against himself and his former defense minister on Thursday, calling it "a modern-day Dreyfus trial".
