The Israeli occupation army is constructing a road to separate the northern Gaza Strip from the rest of its parts. The new road starts from the Nahal Oz settlement on the Gaza Strip and extends west into the Strip to the Mediterranean Sea.

Despite mounting regional and international warnings of possible catastrophic repercussions, the Israeli army is preparing to invade Rafah. For the first time since its establishment in 1948, Israel is being tried before the International Court of Justice, the highest judicial body in the United Nations.
