Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged there was a “tragic mistake” after an Israeli strike killed dozens of people in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
Palestinians look at the destruction after an Israeli strike where displaced people were staying in Rafah, Gaza Strip, Monday, May 27, 2024. Palestinian health workers said Israeli airstrikes killed at least 35 people in the area. Israel’s army confirmed Sunday’s strike and said it hit a Hamas installation and killed two senior Hamas militants.
EDS NOTE: GRAPHIC CONTENT – A Palestinian medic moves a child killed in an Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip to the morgue of Al Aqsa hospital in Deir al Balah, central Gaza Strip, on Sunday, May 26, 2024. Palestinians look at the destruction after an Israeli strike where displaced people were staying in Rafah, Gaza Strip, Monday, May 27, 2024. Palestinian health workers said Israeli airstrikes killed at least 35 people in the area. Israel’s army confirmed Sunday’s strike and said it hit a Hamas installation and killed two senior Hamas militants.
The Gaza Health Ministry said around half of the dead were women, children and older adults. On Monday, barefoot children poked at the blackened debris as searches continued.“These operations must stop. There are no safe areas in Rafah for Palestinian civilians. I call for full respect for international law and an immediate ceasefire,” President Emmanuel Macron posted on X.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said bombings like the one in Rafah will have long-standing repercussions for Israel. The Israeli military’s top legal official said authorities were examining the strikes and that the military regrets the loss of civilian life. Military Advocate General Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi said such incidents occur “in a war of such scope and intensity.”
Israel says it does its best to adhere to the laws of war and says it faces an enemy that makes no such commitment, embeds itself in civilian areas and refuses to release, in which Palestinian militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and seized some 250 hostages. Hamas still holds about 100 hostages and the remains of around 30 others after most of the rest were released during a cease-fire last year.
