Israeli counsel Tamar Kaplan Tourgman has argued before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that many of South Africa’s claims of Israeli military misconduct are “simply false”, Al Jazeera reports.

This includes South Africa’s claims that Israel’s military has set out “extermination zones” where people in Gaza can be targeted on the basis of their location, Tourgman, the principal deputy legal adviser of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, says.

It also includes accusations that Israel is utilising artificial intelligence software to decide on military targets, which Tourgman dismisses as being based on an unreliable media report.
