Israel has removed the security classification from dozens of secret documents to defend itself against the lawsuit that South Africa filed against it at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. The report states that these are mainly instructions from senior political and security officials on Israel's humanitarian efforts for the citizens of Gaza. The documents transferred included summaries of the War Cabinet discussions, and instructions for the provision of aid, fuel, and water into Gaza. Additional documents submitted indicate Israel's willingness to permit other countries to set up field hospitals for the Gazans.
