Israel’s attacks in Palestine continue. Most recently, 13 Palestinians lost their lives in the attacks on Rafah city of the Gaza Strip. While many people were injured in the attack, it was stated that among them were members of the press.
They Retreated From the Morning
The Israeli army continues to bomb Rafah despite the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to stop the attacks. According to local sources, Israeli military vehicles have re-entered the Ash-Shakush area west of Rafah, where they had withdrawn in the morning.
They Targeted Those Living in Tents
Simultaneously with the entry of armored vehicles, intense attacks were carried out in the region with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and artillery fire. It was reported that civilian settlements and tents of displaced Palestinians were targeted in the attacks.
Israeli armored vehicles entered the Shakush region west of Rafah yesterday, targeting the tents and greenhouses of displaced people, resulting in casualties, and withdrew from the region this morning. As a result of the Israeli attacks, many people were forced to flee the region.
Israel Continues Attacks Despite the UN Decision
In the precautionary decisions taken on May 24, the UN’s judicial body, the ICJ, ruled that Israel should immediately stop its attacks on Rafah, not block humanitarian aid, and allow UN officials to enter Gaza to investigate its crimes.
In Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 37 thousand 834 Palestinians, including at least 15 thousand 694 children and 10 thousand 279 women, died and 86 thousand 858 people were injured. While it is reported that there are still thousands of dead under the rubble, civilian infrastructure is also being destroyed by targeting hospitals and educational institutions where people were taken to shelter.
