The Palestine Red Crescent Society has reported a significant number of casualties resulting from a recent Israeli strike on displaced persons' tents in the Rafah area. This strike occurred in the northwestern part of Rafah, an area where evacuation orders were not issued, indicating that it likely served as a shelter for displaced individuals. Specifically, the strike targeted the Tal al-Sultan camp, a tent city where many people have sought refuge.
According to the civil defense in Gaza, it is estimated that around 50 individuals have been either killed or injured in this tragic incident. However, the exact breakdown of the casualties is still unclear due to the fluid nature of the situation. The Palestinian Emergency Committee in Rafah has expressed concerns that dozens may have lost their lives as a result of the strike.
