Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called strikes on the Gaza city of Rafah that killed at least 45 Palestinians a 'tragic mistake'. Israel is now facing surging international criticism over its war with Hamas following the attacks on displaced Palestinians, many of them who had fled northern Gaza cities over Israel's military action on the region.People living in tents were engulfed by fire, witnesses reported during the deadly strikes on Sunday night.
The militant group on Sunday launched a barrage of rockets from the city towards heavily populated central Israel, setting off air raid sirens but causing no injuries. Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said that bombings like the one in Rafah will have long-standing repercussions for Israel."Israel with this choice is spreading hatred, rooting hatred that will involve their children and grandchildren. I would have preferred another decision,'' he told SKY TG24.
