Israel’s top military prosecutor described as “very grave” on Monday an air strike on Rafah and said an after-action investigation by the armed forces continued.The strike came two days after the International Court of Justice issued a ruling that many interpreted as ordering Israel to halt its operations so as to save civilians.
“Our teams are doing their best to save lives,” the International Committee of the Red Cross said in a statement, adding that it was treating people from the strike at a field hospital. “It’s imperative to protect civilians.” Palestinians gather at the site of an Israeli strike on a camp for internally displaced people in Rafah on May 27th, 2024, amid ongoing battles between Israel and Hamas.
