TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people.
The strike only added to the surging international criticism Israel has faced over its war with Hamas, with even its closest allies expressing outrage at civilian deaths. Israel insists it adheres to international law even as it faces scrutiny in the world’s top courts, one of which last week demanded that it halt the offensive in Rafah.
“Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night there was a tragic mistake,” Netanyahu said Monday in an address to Israel’s parliament. “We are investigating the incident and will obtain a conclusion because this is our policy.”
Mohammed Abuassa, who rushed to the scene in the northwestern neighborhood of Tel al-Sultan, said rescuers “pulled out people who were in an unbearable state.”
“We pulled out children who were in pieces. We pulled out young and elderly people. The fire in the camp was unreal,” he said.
Pretty sure it’s time someone glassed Israel.
The answer to the ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians is not more ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians
Does glass ng mean attacking civilians? I don’t know. But if you say war is bad etc etc, then we would’ve been living in a whole different nazi world.
The answer to ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians is more ruthless killing of oppressors.
Glass is referring to nuking Israel. You can’t nuke a country without killing a fuck ton of civilians.
Wait really? I thought glassing means beating up people with a broken bottle
I know of the Scottish slang meaning to hit someone usually by headbutting. Never knew the nuke meaning.
Same. I’m literally getting downvoted for asking it’s meaning lol
No, it’s when you bomb the shit out of something so much that only glass remains. It’s usually referring to nukes because they get hot enough to turn sand to glass.
Fuck that shit. We are better than that. Despite all the Zionists efforts we will not let them kill our humanity like they want.
Stop the Genocide! End the Occupation! Create a Free Palestine! Give back the stolen Land! Compensate all Victims and put all criminals to justice!
Israel’s atrocity is mass murdering civilians. Calling for the same as a response is horrible.
They didn’t say anything about civilians
You can’t nuke a country without killing civilians.
Sure you can, move the civilians out first.
You’re suggesting the complete displacement of every civilian in Israel, which is pretty fucked.
No, they can return after the country has been glassed.
Return to what, exactly? A barren radioactive wasteland?
You know that glassing the country means nuking it, right?
You do know civilians live in the country that they said to glass, right?
You know that means ALL the civilians would die, right?
Right?
Yes, but in reality nobody is going to nuke anybody, and certainly not because a random internet user vents their frustration at the situation with a clearly metaphorical and exaggerated request. Your reply was an overly literal reading of the comment, like replying to “go fuck yourself” with “…you realize that’s not possible, right?”
I simply replied to your literal interpretation with a literal interpretation of my own.
I simply replied to your literal interpretation with a literal interpretation of my own.
That makes literally no sense.
That’s the point
Netanyahu did not elaborate on the error.
Yeah, that tells a lot.
Israel making an awful lot of “mistakes” lately…
It only becomes a mistake when legacy media fail to cover it up and report on it instead.
Funny, when it first happened they had officials saying this was because rockets were fired at Tel Aviv from Gaza.
It’s pretty clear that the people in Gaza are being collectively punished for Hamas attacks. Shoot rockets at us, we’ll shoot our rockets at people living in tents in your territory. That will teach you.
The “tragic mistake” in his head is that he couldn’t kill more. Because he is a sociopath. Fuck Bibi.
In the dialect of Arabic spoken in my country, Morocco, the term “bibi” means turkey, the animal.
So yeah, Benjamin Netanyahu is a turkey. And I’m telling the Israeli people to do the same thing the Dutch did: eat their prime minister.
If Silia Kapsis calls you a liar, then you are a liar. (I’m referring to Benny Net n’ Yahoo btw)
He considers it a tragic mistake that he got caught, not that it happened.
He’s right. Selling him the weapons to do it was a tragic mistake.
How many times has he used that excuse so far?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people.
Israel insists it adheres to international law even as it faces scrutiny in the world’s top courts, one of which last week demanded that it halt the offensive in Rafah.
An initial investigation found that the soldier had responded to an exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants, Egypt’s state-owned Qahera TV reported.
The militant group launched a barrage of rockets Sunday from the city toward heavily populated central Israel, setting off air raid sirens but causing no injuries.
Separately, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three Hamas leaders, over alleged crimes linked to the war.
Associated Press writers Zeke Miller in Washington, Kirsten Grieshaber in Berlin, Jon Gambrell in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Colleen Barry in Rome contributed to this report.

He wanted them to starve instead so they won’t count as “war victims” according to the established rules.
Now they officially count as civil victims of the war, which will be a key variable for the ICC.
How many more dead will it take to sedate Israels blood lust.
All of them. It’s a genocide.
30k+ mistake. Yeah right. The slaughter continues. This was not the first and it won’t be the last
Sure and the holocaust was just a big oopsie!
