Israel-Gaza Conflict: May 26-27 (Recap)

1️⃣ The Israeli army bombed a displacement camp in northern Rafah, killing at least 35 Palestinians, (Gaza Health Ministry)

2️⃣ Hamas launches a missile attack on Tel Aviv, triggering alarm sirens. Earlier, the Qassam Brigades said its fighters “killed and captured” a number of Israeli soldiers in Jabalia camp. Israeli military has denied the claim.

3️⃣ This comes as Israel has intensified attacks across Gaza, killing more than 80 Palestinians in the past 24 hours.

4️⃣ Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin-Farhan has said after meetings with Arab and European counterparts in Brussels that it is very concerning that Israel does not recognise that the security it seeks comes through a two-state solution. “It is absolutely necessary that Israel accepts that it cannot exist without the existence of a Palestinian state,” the top Saudi diplomat told reporters.

5️⃣ Responding to the attack at the tent camp in Rafah, Palestinian writer and activist Kaleem Hawa said it was clear “there is no red line for Israel and the US”.

6️⃣ A spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza has spoken tabout the attack on the displacement camp in Rafah. Here is a summary of their comments: There is a need to follow the basic rules of international humanitarian law.
The healthcare system in Gaza is incapable of dealing with the situation in Rafah. The number of victims from the bombing of the displacement camp and raids in Rafah is likely to rise.

7️⃣ Aryeh Neier, a long-standing Jewish human rights activist whose family fled from Nazi Germany to the United States in 1939 when he was two years old, says he has been convinced that the Israeli military is committing “genocide” in Gaza.

At least 35,984 people including more than 15,000 children, have been killed and over 80,643 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.
