    Mohammed Salem/Reuters The International Court of Justice on Friday ordered Israel to “immediately” halt its military offensive in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, dealing another blow to the country as it faces increasing international isolation and a drumbeat of criticism over its conduct in the war.
    Israel can take the legally safe course and keep its operations strictly limited,” said Adil Haque, a professor of law at Rutgers Law School, “or it can take the legally risky course and test the court’s patience.”
    Israel has controlled the Rafah crossing for more than two weeks, and very few aid trucks have entered the enclave since, according to United Nations data. The Israeli government said in a statement that its military “has not and will not” take actions that would lead to the partial or complete destruction of the Palestinian population of Rafah.
    The South African team had argued before the World Court that Israel’s control over the two major border crossings in southern Gaza, at Rafah and Kerem Shalom, was preventing enough aid from getting into the battered enclave, plunging Gaza into “unprecedented levels of humanitarian need.”
