Israel Defense Forces are investigating after an airstrike aimed at Hamas terrorists killed Palestinian civilians. The IDF says the missiles alone would not have been enough to ignite the fire that caused many deaths.
Rafah tent camp: An airstrike triggered a massive blaze that killed 45 Palestinians in a tent camp in the Gaza city of Rafah.
Israeli war coverage: Israeli tanks hit evacuation zones west of Rafah on Tuesday, killing at least 21 people. Gaza health authorities say this took place while advancing to the heart of the southern Gaza city after a night of heavy bombardment.
“Despite our efforts to minimize civilian casualties during the strike, the fire that broke out was unexpected and unintended...Our investigation seeks to determine what may have caused such a large fire to ignite, IDF Spokesman Rear Admiral. Daniel Hagari said.“
Israel Defense Forces say they are considering a secondary explosion from a Hamas ammunition warehouse near the civilian compound.
