US-made CBU-39 munitions used in deadly strike on Rafah tent camp, CNN analysis shows noting that its use in a densely populated area is highly risky.

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.

It is like clock work, always the same lies: The Israeli military suspects that munitions or some other combustible substance caused a secondary explosion and subsequent fire at a complex housing displaced Gazans in Rafah, following an airstrike aimed at two top Hamas assets.

The incident resulted in the deaths of Palestinian civilians, and an investigation is ongoing.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had been tracking Hamas commanders Yassin Rabia and Khaled Najjar prior to the strike on the compound in the Tel Sultan neighborhood in western Rafah on Sunday night. According to #IDF intelligence, the area had been utilized for Hamas activities, including a nearby rocket launcher.

The military clarified that the strike occurred outside the designated “humanitarian zone” in the al-Mawasi region, which is over a kilometer away from the targeted compound. Steps were taken to ensure no civilians, particularly women and children, were present in the Hamas compound at the time of the attack.

Israeli fighter jets employed two small munitions, each carrying a 17-kilogram warhead, to minimize the risk of civilian casualties due to the proximity to the camp for displaced Palestinians.

Initial investigations by the IDF indicate that the two small missiles alone would not have been sufficient to ignite the fire. The probe suggests that ammunition, weapons, or other materials stored in the vicinity may have caused a secondary explosion and the resulting fire.

#Hezbollah Secretary General, Hassan Nasrallah:

⭕ "The #Rafah massacre confirms the Israeli enemy's brutality, treachery, and betrayal."

⭕ "We are facing an enemy with no values or morals, worse than the Nazis."

⭕ "Some believe that the international community will protect Lebanon, but Gaza answers them by showing that only our weapons, resistance, and courage will protect us."

Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza:

In light of the ongoing and expanding brutal "israeli" incursion in Rafah Governorate, and its deliberate targeting of numerous hospitals and primary care centers in the governorate, which has caused severe damage, the martyrdom of several health workers, and difficulty for citizens to access these facilities, the situation has led to the initial shutdown of Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital, Abu Al-Walid Central Clinic, Rafah Field Hospital (2), and Kuwait Specialty Hospital.

As a result of the continued deliberate violations by the occupation against health institutions, with the targeting of the Indonesian Field Hospital last night and the bombing of the area around Tel Al-Sultan Clinic:

We note the shutdown of both the Indonesian Field Hospital and Tal Sultan Clinic in Rafah Governorate, leaving only Tal Al-Sultan Maternity Hospital struggling to continue providing services to patients in Rafah Governorate.

We reaffirm our call to all international and UN institutions to provide protection for all hospitals, health workers, and ambulances from the oppression and arrogance of the Israeli occupation.

IDF has again escalated its bombing of the #Gaza Strip in the last 30 minutes, especially in #Rafah.

In Rafah now, airstrikes and artillery shelling are continuously targeting various sections of western and central Rafah, with artillery shells hitting citizen's homes. Dozens of shells have been fired. Machine gun fire from helicopters targets the eastern and southeastern areas of Rafah.

Moments ago, an airstrike also targeted Bureij camp in the central #Gaza Strip.

A coalition of NGOs has urgently appealed to the #UN Security Council to enforce the International Court of Justice's orders regarding Israel's offensive in Rafah, Gaza.

Organizations such as #Oxfam, Plan International, and #ActionAid, alongside other prominent relief and human rights organizations, emphasize the critical need for immediate action to uphold international law and ensure Israel's compliance with the ICJ's mandates.

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.

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.

Despite his response to Netanyahu 5 years ago and his participation in extinguishing the fires that broke out in the occupied territories
