From Wikipedia:

The GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is a 250-pound (110 kg) precision-guided glide bomb that is intended to provide aircraft with the ability to carry a higher number of more accurate bombs. Most US Air Force aircraft will be able to carry (using the BRU-61/A rack) a pack of four SDBs in place of a single 2,000-pound (910 kg) bomb. It first entered service in 2006. The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) was later developed to enable the SDB to be launched from a variety of ground launchers and configurations.

This is the second crime against Palestinian refugees in less than 48 hours.

I'm sure #GenocideJoe will accept the explanation of @Netanyahu as another "mistake" and keep on sending 2000 pound bombs to Israel.

The decision to bomb a crowded displaced camp in order to kill two Hamas activists needs to be investigated by the International Criminal Court.

These investigations, as they are ongoing, deal with details and not mainly - decision makers and policy makers, the political rank and command that outlines the policies of attacking citizens, widespread destruction and population starvation have not been investigated and will not be investigated by israel
Following the global shock of the widespread killing in the camp, the Prime Minister, IDF spokesman and chief military prosecutor said that israel will investigate the events.
The Chief Military Prosecutor said the incident would be investigated by the "Chief Investigation Mechanism", a body Israel established after previous investigative mechanisms it was operating were found to not meet the most basic standards – of effectiveness, professionalism, objective, and transparency. In fact, it is another cover up tool.
As documented in studies by Bt'Selem and other human rights organizations, investigations of this kind are intended to create a false representation of internal investigation, in order to prevent the International Criminal Court from intervening and independently investigating the events.
Bt'Selem explained and fished that Israel does not want and can't investigate its actions in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. For example in the report "cover-up procedure" that examined their alleged investigation of the events of Zuk Eitan: https://www.btselem.org/hebrew/press_releases/20160920_whitewash_protocol (in #Hebrew)

פחות מיממה לאחר הריגתם של עשרות אזרחים, בהם 23 נשים וילדים, בהפצצה הישראלית על מחנה עקורים צפוף, נכנס מנגנון הטיוח הישראלי לפעולה. בעקבות הזעזוע העולמי מן הקטל הנרחב במחנה, אמרו ראש הממשלה, דובר צה"ל והפרקליטה הצבאית הראשית, כי ישראל תחקור את האירועים.

הפרקליטה הצבאית הראשית אמרה כי האירוע ייחקר על ידי "מנגנון הבדיקה המטכ"לי", גוף שישראל הקימה לאחר שמנגנוני החקירה הקודמים שהפעילה נתגלו ככאלה שאינם עונים לסטנדרטים הבסיסיים ביותר – של אפקטיביות, מקצועיות, אובייקטיביות, ושקיפות. למעשה, זהו עוד כלי של טיוח.

כפי שתועד במחקרים של בצלם ושל ארגוני זכויות אדם נוספים, חקירות מסוג זה מיועדות לייצר מצג שווא של חקירה פנימית, כדי למנוע מבית הדין הפלילי הבינלאומי להתערב ולחקור באופן עצמאי את האירועים.

בצלם הסביר והדגים כי ישראל איננה רוצה ואיננה יכולה לחקור את פעולותיה בגדה המערבית וברצועת עזה. כך למשל בדוח 'נוהל טיוח' שבדק את חקירתם לכאורה של אירועי צוק איתן >>https://www.btselem.org/.../20160920_whitewash_protocol
חקירות אלו, ככל שמתקיימות, עוסקות בפרטים ולא בעיקר - מקבלי ההחלטות וקובעי המדיניות, הדרג המדיני והפיקודי שמתווה את המדיניות של תקיפת אזרחים, הרס נרחב והרעבה של אוכלוסייה לא נחקרו ולא ייחקרו על ידי ישראל.

את ההחלטה להפציץ מחנה עקורים צפוף בכדי להרוג שני פעילי חמאס צריך לחקור בית הדין הפלילי הבינלאומי.

#UN Secretary-General António #Guterres condemned #Israel's massacre, which killed 45 civilians in a displacement camp burning them alive.

"There is no safe place in Gaza. This horror must stop", he added.

Member of the #European Parliament Manon Aubry:

The scenes that occurred in #Rafah as a result of the deliberate bombing cannot be described, and they occurred two days after the International Court of Justice ruled to stop the war in #Rafah.

• How many massacres must occur for us to impose sanctions on “Israel”?

• The sale of weapons to “Israel” must be prohibited and the #Palestinian state must be recognized

⚡️ Press coverage: Al-Sisi ignores #Gaza’s call for help after the death of about 35 #Palestinians following the burning of a refugee camp in #Rafah as a result of bombing by occupation aircraft.
