Israeli forces have bombed a tent camp housing displaced people in a designed safe zone in Rafah, killing at least 35 Palestinians, according to officials. Many of the victims were women and children.

    The attack on the Tal as-Sultan area came as Israeli forces also bombed shelters housing displaced Palestinians in areas including Jabalia, Nuseirat and Gaza City in the past 24 hours, killing at least 160 others, according to the Palestinian officials.

    The Israeli military confirmed the attack, saying it targeted Hamas fighters using “precision weaponry”. It admitted civilians were injured when a fire broke out and said the incident is under investigation.

    At least 35,984 Palestinians have been killed and up to 80,643 people have been wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s attack on that date stands at 1,139, with dozens still held captive.

    Israeli legislator says Netanyahu’s government trampling on ICJ orders

    Aida Touma-Sliman, a Palestinian citizen of Israel and a legislator in the Israeli Knesset, has denounced the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for its “madness and vindictiveness” in the wake of the latest attack on Rafah.

    “Hundreds killed and wounded in the last hour in Rafah. This time the bombings fell in a dense area of displaced residents that Israel declared a safe area. We were warned that entering Rafah would lead to another heavy humanitarian disaster,” she said in a post on X.

    “The clear demands of the International Criminal Court of Justice that [Israel] stop any attacks that would harm an innocent civilian population is being trampled on,” she added. “This bloody government refuses to obey all orders of the tribunal, and is taking the madness and vindictiveness to a new criminal level.”
