Israeli attack on Rafah
According to Reuters, survivors reported that families were preparing to sleep when the strike hit the Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood, where thousands were sheltering following the Israeli ground offensive in the eastern part of Rafah over two weeks ago.
In the wake of the incident, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted to a "tragic mistake." During an address to Israel's parliament on Monday, Netanyahu stated, "Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night there was a tragic mistake. We are investigating the incident and will obtain a conclusion because this is our policy." Israel's ongoing war on Gaza began on October 7, 2023, after the militant group Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel.
