FOUND: Rafah strike - What They Never Told You

Tent city strike: On Sunday night, the Israeli military struck a displaced persons camp in Rafah, in Gaza, which started a fire that led to more deaths and injuries. They took out two Hamas-affiliated targets but many civilians as well. The Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza claims the Israel Defense Forces killed 45 and injured 200, while Israeli authorities said instead that "several civilians in the area were harmed." Doctors Without Borders reported that it treated 180 injured people, meaning the true numbers might be more consistent with what Gaza's health ministry is claiming.

Later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that the strike killed more than they'd intended. "Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night, there was a tragic mistake," he said. "We are investigating the incident and will obtain a conclusion because this is our policy."
