IDF suspects Hamas artillery caused deadly fire in Rafah, investigation ongoing. The military clarified that the strike occurred outside the designated “humanitarian zone” in the al-Mawasi region, which is over a kilometer away from the targeted compound.

The Israeli military suspects that munitions or some other combustible substance caused a secondary explosion and subsequent fire at a complex housing displaced Gazans in Rafah, following an airstrike aimed at two top Hamas terrorists.

The incident resulted in the deaths of Palestinian civilians, and the investigation is ongoing.

So the IDF kills two Hamas leaders, and then Hamas kills a bunch of civilian squatters and blames it on the IDF... Par for the course.

The IDF has been incredibly accurate with their strikes, even though misshaps happen. But the smells, and I suspected all along that it was Hamas munitions that caused the fire, although I disagree with the reporter - I believe Hamas set it intentionally to get the reaction that they got.

Hamas does not have any ‘artillery’, it only has rockets - author/editor did not read their own story.

Hamas has all kind of weapons. Especially devices that cause fire.
And what about simple molotov cocktails that are thrown at IDF?

Hamas has mortars, which are considered light artillery.

Palestinian civilians are worth more to Hamas dead than alive.

That won’t change the world’s view that it was Israel’s fault regardless.
