The ICC also announced that it had issued an arrest warrant for the leader of the military wing of the Hamas group (recognized as a terrorist in the US and the EU), Muhammad Diab Ibrahim al-Masri, known as Muhammad Deif.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked Israel, killing about 1,200 people and taking about 250 hostages, more than a hundred of whom are still in captivity.
Israel responded by launching a military operation against the militants. Subsequently, the conflict spread to Lebanon – the IDF also began to destroy Hezbollah fighters (a group recognized as a terrorist in the US, but only its armed wing is considered a terrorist in the EU), who promised to fight against Israel due to its military operation in the Gaza Strip.
