The Israeli occupation has perpetrated yet another massacre in Rafah, killing and injuring scores of innocent civilians at a displacement encampment in the city, on May 27th, 2024.
Over 20 Gaza civilians are reported killed as Israeli occupation forces launch airstrikes targeting tents of displaced people in the Mawasi area of Rafah, west of the city.
Rafah, the city that shouldn’t be invaded for its brimming of displaced civilians, has seen these days horrific massacres carried out by the Israeli army. Today’s massacre came just two days after world’s condemnations and wide-scale rage over the beheading of little children by Israeli airstrikes in Rafah.
Two days ago, Israeli occupation army targeted displaced citizens’ tents near UNRWA barracks in Tel Sultan, west of Rafah, killing at least 60 Palestinians, most of whom are children and women.
The attack came just hours after the Israeli Knesset approved the preliminary reading designating UNRWA as a “terrorist organization”.
Witnesses said at least 8 heavy missiles were dropped on the tents’ camp in Tel Sultan, which the Israeli army declared it previously as a “safe zone” and to which it pushed people to move.
Civil Defence in Gaza said the area targeted by Israel’s heavy strikes incubates at least 100,000 displaced people.
20 days ago, Israeli army launched a ground invasion in Rafah despite wide concerns and world rejection, leading to displace the already displaced people and the killing of hundreds civilians.
