Rafah: Not a “tragic mistake”

Not a mistake. An intended target with full knowledge that civilians had been directed to this alleged safe space by Israeli authorities.

Targeting Rafah was going to result in massive civilian casualties- The Israeli government knew this for a fact as it had been stated repeatedly and they still went ahead with the onslaught. Not a mistake. An intention

UN Security Council schedules emergency meeting on situation in Rafah after Israeli air strikes kill 45 people and wound dozens

For months Israel has been preparing for an offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city – the makeshift home of more than a million people fleeing the conflict.

Rafah, which sits on the border with Egypt, has become a refuge teeming with tent camps over the past six months.

Rafah Mayor Ahmed Al-Sofi said the IDF had declared the area to be safe.

“The civil defence workers were unable to help anyone and the hospitals ceased to function,” he said.

The attack has brought a new wave of condemnation of Israel, even from its strongest supporters.

The US National Security Council said in a statement the “devastating images” from the strike on Rafah were “heartbreaking”.

Other nations were more blunt.

The Foreign Office of Germany, which has been a staunch supporter of Israel for decades, said: “The images of charred bodies, including children, from the air strike in Rafah are unbearable.”

Then Germany tells Israel to investigate the incident themselves- Utter nonsense. Having spent far too long dissecting war propaganda and other media lies it’s clear to me Germany is looking for Israel to come up with a cover story and quick!

Egypt and Israel exchanged gunfire at the border as well
