Just around yesterday Israel started its campaign over Rafah, which is the most densely populated area in Gaza. In less than an hour, over 109 people were killed and massacred by the IDF, which claims they are trying to minimize civilian casualties when they are targeting these civilians by constantly bombing them with no remorse whatsoever. Many more could be killed and wounded even under the rubble. They are slaughtering children, women, and the elderly if you are there it doesn’t matter they will target you.
Rafah is housing 1.4 million people who have fled there to escape the IDF and what they do. The IDF has dropped leaflets telling the Palestinians to go south to Rafah and take shelter there. However, now they are bombing them, and there are over 1.4 million people there. How are you going to tell people to go somewhere to seek shelter, then you take it away and start constantly bombing them? It doesn’t make any sense According to different Palestinian sources, the IDF has bombed 14 residences as well as 3 mosques.
Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu, has promised to keep the onslaught going in Rafah and around Gaza. There could also be a potential ground invasion, which will most definitely have civilian casualties in it. It’s now been 128 days since this conflict has started, and it may not end anytime soon.
