‘Massive explosions, black smoke in sky’: Israelis pound Rafah after deadly Hamas ambush
We know that the air strikes have intensified in the exact same place where the incident took place. We know that at least eight Israeli soldiers have been killed in this incident. But we still don’t how this incident took place. The upcoming hours are going to reveal a lot.
The area that was targeted is Tal as-Sultan. It’s in the western parts of Rafah and that area had hundreds of thousands of families that were displaced. Tal as-Sultan is not very far away from the al-Mawasi area in Rafah, where there are a lot of people sheltering.
No ambulances, no healthcare workers and no journalists were able to reach that area because the Israeli forces were targeting anyone who gets close. But we know there have been a lot of massive air strikes and a lot of massive explosions, and a targeting of residential buildings.
People from Khan Younis were reporting that they were hearing the explosions and they were seeing the black smoke in the sky.
