Israel Conducts Strikes On Rafah Resulting In Over 100 Deaths

The attack was carried out in Rafah, a city on the outskirts of the Gaza strip where 1.4 million Palestinians have fled to escape fighting in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

Israeli forces launched a series of overnight strikes that resulted in over 100 deaths.

The attack was carried out in Rafah, a city on the outskirts of the Gaza strip where 1.4 million Palestinians have fled to escape fighting in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

Israel has been signaling its ground offensive in Gaza may soon target Rafah but President Biden warned Israel’s prime minister to refrain from striking the city unless there was a “credible and executable” plan to protect civilians.

Despite efforts, Israel carried through and Hamas said a Rafah ground offensive would end all hostage negotiations that have been advancing over recent weeks.

In addition, the Netherlands will no longer export F-35 fighter jets to Israel in attempt to prevent the military from using them to violate international humanitarian law.
