Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described a recent airstrike in Rafah as a tragic mistake. The strike, which hit a refugee camp in Rafah, resulted in the deaths of at least 45 people and left around 200 others injured. The Israeli military has stated that the airstrike targeted and killed two senior Hamas officials.
The strike occurred in western Rafah, an area not designated for evacuation by the Israeli military. This led to a devastating impact on the displaced persons camp in the region, where residents had sought refuge. The aftermath of the strike was marked by harrowing scenes of destruction, with women and children among the casualties.
