At 7 a.m. on Saturday, Mor Bayder saw a horrifying photo on her grandmother’s Facebook page.

A Hamas terrorist had broken into her grandmother’s house in kibbutz Nir Oz, murdered her, and then took a picture on her phone and uploaded it to her Facebook page.

“This is how we found out,” Bayder wrote. “My grandmother. My whole world. The light of my life.”

Two suspects were arrested on suspicion of disseminating materials glorifying terrorism.
“The disciplinary process before the Bureau is ongoing and remains confidential. No decisions have been taken, and no weight should be ⁠given to recent media speculation,” an internal ICC memo said.
