“Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night, there was a tragic mistake,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday in an address to Israel’s parliament.
Netanyahu acknowledges ‘tragic mistake’ after Israeli strike strike in Rafah kills dozens of Palestinians
Mohammed Abuassa, who rushed to the scene in the northwestern neighborhood of Tel al-Sultan, said rescuers"pulled out people who were in an unbearable state.” Rafah, the southernmost Gaza city on the border with Egypt, had housed more than a million people — about half of Gaza's population — displaced from other parts of the territory. Most have fled once again since Israel launched what it called a limited incursion there earlier this month. Hundreds of thousands are packed into squalid tent camps in and around the city.
Neighboring Egypt and Jordan, which made peace with Israel decades ago, also condemned the Rafah strike. Egypt's Foreign Ministry called it a “new and blatant violation of the rules of humanitarian international law.” Jordan’s Foreign Ministry called it a “war crime.”
