U.S. President Joe Biden “must stop sending weapons to Israel,” said one critic. “This is egregious.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

21 Jun 2024 <\/em>– The Israeli<\/a> Defense Forces today yet again shelled tents of displaced Palestinians near the city of Rafah in the Gaza<\/a> Strip, killing at least 25 and wounding another 50, local health and emergency officials said.<\/p>\n

“According to Ahmed Radwan, a spokesperson for Civil Defense first responders in Rafah, witnesses told rescue workers about the shelling at two locations in a coastal area that has become filled with tents,” The Associated Press<\/em>reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The locations of the attacks provided by the Civil Defense appear to be just outside an Israeli-designated safe zone,” the news agency noted. “The Israeli military said the episode was under review but that ‘there is no indication that a strike was carried out by the IDF’ inside the safe zone, using an acronym for the Israeli forces. It did not offer details on the episode or say what the intended targets might have been.”<\/p>\n
