Israeli military says it killed two senior Hamas officials in Rafah strikes that left at least 35 dead

At least 35 Palestinians were killed Sunday in an Israeli strike on a tent encampment, Gaza health officials said, that the Israeli military claims targeted two senior Hamas officials.

The strike targeted a humanitarian zone in Rafah which the Israeli military previously instructed displaced Palestinians to shelter from attacks, the Gaza Health Ministry said. The ministry said most of the 35 dead were women and children, and that the death toll is likely to rise as “countless” are trapped in rubble.

The attack comes just days after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to stop its operations in Rafah, the last remaining major settlement in Gaza that has not been invaded by the Israeli military.

The Israeli military has slowly encroached on the city despite strong warnings from the Biden administration. President Biden warned earlier this month that he would stop military aid shipments to the country if it invaded Rafah without a plan approved by U.S. leaders to limit civilian casualties.

More than half of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are believed to be sheltering in Rafah, and over 80 percent of the territory’s population overall are displaced from their homes. The United Nations said famine has begun in parts of Gaza as civilians struggle to get access to humanitarian aid.

Over 120 aid trucks entered Rafah on Sunday from Egypt, the first since the Israeli military seized the crossing earlier this month. It was not immediately clear if local aid groups could access the humanitarian supplies, however, The Associated Press reported, as fighting in the area has made humanitarian work difficult.

Good, but not enough.

The UN needs to disarm Hamass.

Between the action in Chicago and Rafah, it looks like it's shaping up to be a mighty fine Memorial Day Weekend. Win-win all around!

HAMAS should unconditionally surrender, hand over the remain hostages and anyone and everyone responsible for or participating in the October 7th savagery.

Headline should be “35 terrorists, terrorist supporters and future terrorists killed in missile strike”

You have the “Final Solution” quite right.

Unfortunately...you are correct. Israel has no choice but to finish what they started. Hamas releasing more videos of women they captured and threatened did nothing to improve the situation. Gazan people are toast.

And Hamas lies. I don’t believe their death toll reports. Those killed who are not Hamas or Hamas sympathizers are dead because Hamas sheltered amongst them.

I don’t understand why Qatar is not being healed accountable for sheltering Hamas.

One place they say it was a tent city. Another place it says more dead are probably under the rubble. Huh?

Oh no, poor Nick is going to lose his job now. Headline should have read:

“...that left at least 35 dead, MOSTLY CIVILIANS”
