Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Sunday’s deadly Israeli airstrike on a Rafah camp had gone tragically wrong.
“Despite our best effort, not to harm those not involved, unfortunately a tragic mistake happened last night. We are investigating the case,” Netanyahu said about the strike in a speech at the Israeli Knesset on Monday.
At least 45 people were killed and 200 wounded after the Israeli strike hit a camp for displaced people, according to the government media office in Gaza.
The Israeli military’s General Staff’s Fact-Finding and Assessment Mechanism is investigating an airstrike carried out in Rafah on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Monday.
Israel claimed that they killed 2 ‘senior Hamas officials’ in this strike. We know that Israel considers it acceptable to kill up to 300 civilians for each senior hamas target. Make no mistake. This wasn’t an accident. Israel just doesn’t care about the welfare of the Palestinians. They are genocidal and must be stopped.
