Israel airstrikes in Rafah already killed at least 100 people overnight into Monday as the IDF carried out a rescue operation to free two Israeli Argentine hostages. This is a young Palestinian girl who was injured and lost her father in the Israeli strikes.

Mai Al-Najjar: “We were in the tent, me and all my family, when the bullets came at us. My father went to see what’s happening and said there were strikes, and a strike happened while he was talking. We all fled. … My father was martyred. While in the car, he kept saying, 'I bear witness that there is one god,' and he died.”

Amnesty International says Rafah’s population has seen a fivefold increase since the Israeli assault started on October 7. In a new report, Amnesty is calling for a war crimes investigation into Israeli strikes in Rafah in December and January that killed nearly 100 civilians, almost half of them children. This comes as Palestinian health officials say Israeli forces have killed over 12,300 children in the Gaza Strip in just over four months.
