BREAKING NEWS: Judges at the International Criminal Court ( #ICC) have issued #arrest warrants for Israelā€™s prime minister and former defence minister, as well as Hamas's military commander.

A statement said a pre-trial chamber had rejected Israelā€™s challenges to the courtā€™s jurisdiction and issued warrants for Benjamin #Netanyahu and Yoav #Gallant.

A warrant was also issued for Mohammed Deif, although the Israeli military has said he was killed in an air strike in Gaza in July.

The judges found ā€œreasonable groundsā€ that the three men bore "criminal responsibility" for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the war between Israel and Hamas. Both Israel and #Hamas have rejected the allegations.
