A probe has been launched into the IDF targeting process, the Israeli leader said
Israel has launched an investigation after at least 45 Palestinian refugees were killed in Sunday’s IDF strike on the overcrowded southern Gazan city of Rafah.
According to ABC News, shrapnel from the strike ignited a fuel tank 100 meters away from the intended target, creating a large fire at an encampment housing displaced people.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged the civilian deaths in a speech to Israel’s parliament on Monday. “Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night there was a tragic mistake,” he said, as quoted by the Associated Press. “We are investigating the incident and will obtain a conclusion because this is our policy.”
The IDF previously said the strike in the Tel Al-Sultan area had killed two senior Hamas officials, including the commander of the Palestinian militant group’s West Bank headquarters.
