The United Nations' top court opens hearings Thursday into South Africa's allegation that Israel's war with Hamas amounts to genocide against Palestinians, a claim that Israel strongly denies.

Your analysis is flawed.

Full genocide definition: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml

It needs 2 elements. Mental and physical.

Israel destroyed all but 5 hospitals in the whole region that housed 2.3 million people;
They are performing a total blockade that cuts off water, food, electricity, gas (also known as siege);
1.9 million people are displaced from their home;
They are intentionally bombing refugee camps they themselves declared "safe zones";

There is plenty of evidence, half of which is provided by Israel or IDF themselves, to prove the mental intent of genocide. They just feel untouchable with blind US support and their universal defense of Holocaust, which they use as both sword and shield.

Out of 5 physical acts that qualify as genocide, Israel checks 4 of them.

  1. Killing members of the group; ✔
  2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;✔
  3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;✔
  4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;✔
  5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.❌
