There could be dozens of deaths. The Palestinian Red Crescent announced on Sunday that an Israeli strike in a designated humanitarian area near the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah left a “large number” of dead and wounded.
“Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance teams are transporting large numbers of martyrs and wounded after the (Israeli) occupation attacked displaced persons’ tents near the United Nations headquarters, northwest of Rafah,” the Red Crescent reported on X, adding that “the site has been designated as a humanitarian zone by the Israeli occupation.”
The Hamas health ministry and Rafah province’s emergency committee also reported a strike on a center for displaced people near Rafah, which they said killed and wounded dozens of people. Around 10:30 p.m., the Hamas government office said at least 30 people were killed and dozens more were wounded.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Despite a chorus of international disapproval, on May 7 the IDF launched an operation in the city of Rafah to destroy the last battalions of Hamas, which it has been fighting for almost eight months.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Friday ordered Israel to immediately cease its activities in the city in the southern Gaza Strip, from which hundreds of thousands of people have fled. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this Sunday that he is “strongly opposed” to ending the war.
