Israeli Airstrike Kills Hamas Officials Near Refugee Camp
Bundesregierung: Israel likely made a mistake in airstrike near Rafah
Gaza Strip's Rafah crossing becomes a lifeline
Airstrikes in the southern Gaza strip hit a refugee camp in a designated humanitarian protection zone in the Rafah district killing two Hamas officials. The attack has been met with international criticism with some questioning Israel’s commitment to maintaining civilian safety during the ongoing conflict.
Israel has claimed it was reviewing the strike after multiple reports stated the strike hit a civilian target. Germany believes that Israel made a mistake in conducting the airstrike, while the US has urged Israel to limit civilian casualties. Satellite images have shown the strike caused widespread destruction in Rafah.
The Rafah crossing, the only crossing into Egypt, has become a lifeline for the Palestinian people. The crossing has been closed for years, but has been opened to allow humanitarian aid into the region.
