Israel justifies deadly strike on Rafah

The IDF claims to have struck “legitimate targets” amid reports of at least 35 civilian deaths

Israel has said its air force conducted a “precise strike” in the Gazan city of Rafah on Sunday, eliminating two senior Hamas leaders, while local health officials reported mass civilian fatalities.

The IDF bombardment hit Rafah’s Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood, killing at least 35 people and injuring dozens, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry of the Hamas-controlled Palestinian enclave. 

Footage from the area – supposedly designated a safe zone for displaced civilians – showed widespread devastation, as a blaze ripped through a tent camp.

A spokesperson with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society warned that with many people trapped in the burning debris, the death toll may rise.

Ne détournez pas le regard, retweeter, liker tout ce qui ce passe à Rafah c’est un GÉNOCIDE, déplacer des humains dans un endroit et les tuer c’est UN GÉNOCIDE ne laissez plus les autres donner un autre nom à ce qui se passe pic.twitter.com/vsJZ9dtRXs
