Israeli Attack on Raffah tent Camp

Israel rejects a UNSC request to “halt the killing” in order to carry out the Rafah attack.

 

At least 11 killed in another Israeli air strike on the southern Gaza town of Rafah as tanks push into the centre and calls for world forces to stop slaughter.

They have rejected a draft resolution at the UN Security Council to “stop the killing” — calling it biased against Israel.

Hours after witnesses and a Palestinian security source said Israeli tanks had penetrated the heart of Rafah, new air attacks were reported across the southernmost city on Wednesday morning.

“Everything is secured and stamped with warrants because whoever moves, drones target him,” said Abdel Khatib outside his home as he stood wearing a protective mask.

According to the Palestinian SaebPress news agency, Israeli air images targeted several positions in the town where a raid was carried out on Friday at around 5 am with mortars near the headquarters of “Badr Camp Warriors” for military training west of Khan Younis and Zourob Roundabout west of Gaza City.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said Israel is continuing “to crowd people from one place to another” during the assault.

Earlier, the Israeli military classified Rafah as a closed military zone while targeting northern and central Gaza. This forced more than half the enclave’s 2.3 million population.

Nearly a million people are said to have fled Rafah as the Israeli offensive is drawn up Allied nations of Israel have urged the Jewish state to cease strikes on the city where they say large numbers of civilians are at risk and a humanitarian catastrophe is building.

The disabled, meanwhile, are moving from the al-Mawasi evacuation zone to temporary refuge elsewhere after being pushed away before shelling for their critical activities.

And as we all know there is no such thing as a safe spot in active war. “Bombing is happening all over, not just in Rafah but also in Khan Younis and throughout the Strip,” Mahmoud said.

Gaza battle: Messages and strikes to draw “red lines”

 

Stop the killing in Gaza

 

Algeria called an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on Tuesday night in response to a similar strike that killed 45 people over the weekend and caused indignation throughout the world.

During the meeting, the state of North Africa presented a draft resolution demanding a “immediate ceasefire” and a stop to Israel’s offensive in Rafah.

The proposal made reference to the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) decision from last week, which mandated that Israel immediately cease its military assault on the city.

The goal of the action is to “stop the killing in Rafah,” according to Algeria’s UN envoy Amar Bendjama, who made this announcement during the 15-member UN security committee meeting on Gaza. For 2024–2025, Algeria will be a council member.

The matter was to be discussed once more by the council on Wednesday. Diplomats predicted a vote in a matter of days. But the US has rejected three attempts in the past to obtain a resolution calling for an end to hostilities in Gaza.
