| deskpro2k3 said: There are upsetting images and videos on social media showing beheaded babies in Rafah today. These are real and can be seen online, unlike the ones Israeli authorities made up or that President Biden falsely claimed to have seen. One photo shows six burnt babies lined up, with one having only part of a skull. |
Will Biden mention the real burned babies this time? Unlikely.
CNN starts out by flatly stating the IDF claim the tents were a Hamas compound.

An Israeli airstrike in Rafah, Gaza leaves dozens dead after hitting a camp housing displaced people. The IDF says it targeted a Hamas compound.
And no mention of babies, not even women or children. They only go as far as saying charred bodies and a general view of tents on fire. Not that they should show these on TV, but just to ignore it is dishonest reporting.
Also CNN doesn't go into the fact that the hospitals are mostly disabled in Rafah since the Rafah invasion and have no fuel for emergency services. Only 8 beds available at the Kuwaiti hospital. Certainly no burn units left in the Gaza strip. More will die from their wounds.
Medical centres in Rafah not capable of treating all those wounded in latest Israeli attack
We know that there were eight very explosive air strikes on a makeshift tent camp with thousands of internally displaced Palestinians.
People decided to set up their tents there because they thought it would be safe, as its beside an UNRWA logistics space in Tal as-Sultan. It’s a very crowded place and the reason why fire caught the whole place is because it’s full of tents made of plastic and cloth.
Civil Defence has been trying for hours to put out the fires. Thousands of children, women and families chose this area because … Israel claimed that it was a safe area.
In the last evacuation order the Israeli army posted, three blocks of that area were designated as safe so people evacuated from the eastern part of Rafah to the western part, fleeing air strikes.
The only hospital in Rafah has only eight beds and does not have an ICU unit, [so] the hospitals are not capable of treating all of these severe injuries. Rafah has been targeted already this morning. And there are already injuries being treated in the hospitals.
How can they even know, they weren't there. Bodies are charred beyond recognition. Just more IDF lies to cover their asses and whether true or not, it's a despicable war crime regardless.
Israeli military says two senior Hamas officials killed in Rafah attack
The Israeli military has issued a second statement on the attack in Rafah, saying two senior Hamas officials were killed in a “precise airstrike”.
It said that included Hamas’s chief of staff in the West Bank, Yassin Rabia.
Earlier, the Israeli military said it struck a “Hamas compound” and said it was aware of reports that “several civilians in the area were harmed” as a result of the strike and the fires that broke out in the tent camp.
It's like saying the October 7th attack was within international law since Hamas targeted the military outposts first, the rest was collateral damage. It's not, yet Israel keeps using the excuse over and over. The ICC agrees, seeking arrest warrents for both Hamas and Israeli leaders.
