At least 40 killed in Rafah after Israeli missiles hit camp for displaced
At least 40 killed in Rafah after Israeli missiles hit camp for displaced
The Israeli missiles struck tents in an area to the west of Rafah city, which was supposed to be safe from attack.
Gaza officials say the death toll from Israeli air strikes on a camp housing displaced Palestinians near Rafah in southern part of the strip has risen to 40.
“The massacre committed by the Israeli occupation army in the refugee tents northwest of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip has left 40 martyrs and 65 wounded,” Mohammad al-Mughayyir, a senior official at the civil defence agency, told AFP news agency.
The attack led to a massive fire, which Palestinian Civil Defence teams managed to extinguish after about 45 minutes.
“The air strikes burnt the tents, the tents are melting and the people’s bodies are also melting,” one of the residents who arrived at the Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah was reported as saying by the Reuters news agency.
Doctors without Borders, known by its acronym MSF, said “dozens of wounded” as well as more than 15 of the dead had been brought to a facility that it supports.
What is the proper way to treat people who murder innocent families? What is the appropriate way we should treat those who commit genocide and will continue to commit genocide as long as they are able? Wouldn't engaging them in violence to stop the genocide be morally justified?
Yet, instead of putting Israel in its place, we have chosen to assist them in slaughtering unarmed civilian families who have already been robbed of everything.
Conservatism (including neoliberalism) is purely harmful and should be erased from this planet. There is no such thing as a "good conservative". Violence is warranted in the defense of the innocent and vulnerable.
Id say give them a slow and painful death
This is crazy that they keep on going. I guess when they go genociding it has no limits.
IDF be like: our intelligence sources tell us that at least some of them may be, have been or would have become rhamas.
Their intelligence sources are basically anything but intelligent.
"Let us honor the memories of those we lost by fostering a spirit of solidarity and kindness."
They were lost by fostering a spirit of solidarity and kindness? No, they were lost by inaction. They should have run this by an editor because that doesn't say what they think it says.
It’s tough being an informed consumer of news given that we know both Israel and Hamas lie their asses off, so it’s basically equally likely:
- Israel murdered more civilians for fun / to advance their genocide
- there’s crystal clear video showing that the rockets were launched from these tents, or by people who were living in them (which, ignoring that Israel’s theft of land and brazen mass slaughter motivating these attacks, would traditionally make this a legitimate military target). Of course even in this case, a non-terrorist/genocidal country could use means to attack that are more selective. Israel just likes to specifically use non-selective attacks to cause as much collateral damage as possible%20to%20secure%20that%20end.).
It sucks.
I've seen some pictures that the rockets were launched from what seemed to be the east of Rafah close to the border but no videos that they were launched from this tent camp. This tent camp was in the west of Rafah.
Brix camp to the west of the city of Rafah.
The previous attack from Hamas on israels military base next to the Ker Shalom crossing was launched more than 350 meters away from the nearest civilian area, Which is pretty impressive considering how densely populated Rafah is.
I might have missed some footage though, if you have additional footage feel free to link it.
BBC is saying Israel claims this one took out two Hamas officials, so it seems like a typical “why kill few Palestinian when kill many do trick” case.
Thanks, I hadn’t looked into this one in more detail.
No no it was precision fire, with precision munitions, with precision intelligence that just all went to hell.
All accidental, move on, nothing to see here
Israel isn’t even claiming the rockets were launched from there, so your speculation is unfounded.
This isn't a credible news source.
Yeah, so says Israeli propaganda.
At this point a dismissal of anything by Israel makes it more credible, not less
Serious question: what, in your opinion, makes Aljazeera a non-credible news source? And what, in turn, do you consider examples of credible news sources on the subject?
Easy... Anything that criticizes Israel is non-credible, and everything else that excuses civilian deaths as "hamas hiding behind civilians" is credible.
You aren't a credible commenter.
Yeah, who would ever believe that Israel hit yet another refugee location?
Too lazy to see CNN, BBC, CBC all reporting the same? If you take the IDF's word alone maybe their acknowledgment of civilian deaths in the strike will suffice?
The BBC reported in it and in sure many others.
There is this new invention called search, you might want to give it a go, before condemning this news source because it has words you find scary in its name.
The IDF admitted to it bud
