When Israel invaded Rafah and ordered the evacuation of its east, some citizens fled to other parts of the city, like Tel al-Sultan, seeking safety. One week before the bombing, Israel had designated the neighborhood as a "safe zone" and dropped leaflets instructing Palestinians to move there. Two days before the attack, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to halt its offensive, but Israel interpreted the order differently and continued its operations.

On the night of the attack, Israel struck the neighborhood with two U.S. made GBU-39 glide bombs. The bombs ignited a fire in the "Kuwaiti Peace" tent camp; many civilians were trapped and burned alive.[6] Israel claimed it attacked a "Hamas compound", killed two commanders, and accidentally set off the fire. However, videos and satellite images showed that the location of the airstrike was inside the refugee camp itself, and some sources alleged Israel deliberately targeted civilians. Military analysts stated that bombs used by Israel have a large effect radius, and therefore should not have been used in a densely populated civilian area. Images of the attack spread internationally, with them being described as "some of the worst" of the war. The attack received widespread condemnation, with some groups calling it a war crime.

Background

After evacuation orders were issued by Israel during the Israel-Hamas war, many areas of Gaza became depopulated, with refugees primarily traveling to Rafah. Rafah became dense and overcrowded, with over 1.4 million civilians sheltering in the area.[7] However, when Israel first invaded the city, it ordered the eastern neighborhoods evacuated. An estimated 950,000 civilians fled, going to other parts of southern Gaza designated as safe, including parts of Rafah.[2][8][9]

Two days before the attack, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to halt the Rafah offensive.[10][11][12] However, Israel interpreted the order as merely to comply with international law, not necessarily stop the offensive, and continued.[11] The Euro-Med Monitor reported that in the 48 hours since the order was issued, Israel had launched over 60 airstrikes in the city.[13]

The attack came shortly after Hamas launched rockets at Tel Aviv, the first time in months. The IDF said eight rockets were fired from the Rafah area, though were intercepted.[14]

Designation as a "safe zone"

Many sources reported that the area that Israel attacked had previously been designated by Israel as a "safe zone".[15][16] CBC News showed pictures of Israeli leaflets that read:[17]

For your safety, the Israeli Defence Force is asking you to leave these areas immediately and to go to known shelters in Deir el Balah or the humanitarian area in Tel al-Sultan through Beach Road. And don't blame us after we warned you.[17]

NPR reported that Israeli leaflets urging civilians to evacuate to Tel al-Sultan had been dropped one week before the bombing.[18] Witnesses speaking to Agence France Press confirmed they only came to Tel al-Sultan on instructions from IDF leaflets.[19] Abed Mohammed Al-Attar, whose family would later be killed in the attack, said the Israeli forces had told residents that this area was a safe zone.[15]

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that the location had been designated by Israel as a "humanitarian area" and it was not included in areas that Israel's military ordered evacuated earlier this month.[20][21]

In addition to being designated as a safe zone, there was a question of whether the attack also fell inside the "al-Mawasi humanitarian zone" as announced by Israel. Under the original boundaries, as announced by Israel on December 6, 2023, the attack happened inside al-Mawasi humanitarian zone.[22] However, on May 6, Israel changed the boundaries of this zone, and if using these new boundaries, the attack took place outside the humanitarian zone, a fact that was emphasized by the IDF on May 27.[23] But Forensic Architecture states that the May 6 change was not effectively communicated to Gazans, including those who had already sought refuge there.[22] Indeed satellite imagery confirms that new tents continued to be built in this area from May 6 to May 26, indicating Palestinian civilians were unaware tht Israel had changed the definition of al-Mawasi.[22]

Attack

On the night of 26 May, Israeli fighter jets struck the "Kuwaiti Peace" tent camp in Tel al-Sultan.[24] The camp was noted to be 200 metres (660 ft) from the largest UNRWA humanitarian aid storage warehouse in the Gaza Strip.[25][26][27] Multiple people were killed and injured in the initial explosion.[28] Witnesses reported "a deadly hail of shrapnel, then the sound of screaming".[28] A dead woman was later found with shrapnel in her lungs and heart.[28]

A witness said that he heard an explosion, walked out of his house, and saw smoke in a nearby street.[4] Survivors of the attack said it "burned people alive" and destroyed an entire block.[5] The Palestine Red Crescent Society said civilians were trapped in the flames. A video verified by NBC News showed Palestinians screaming for help in tents "engulfed by flames" with civil defense crews attempting to stop the fire and rescue people. Other videos displayed burnt corpses, including one of a decapitated child. Paramedics later retrieved these bodies.[29][30]

It was the deadliest incident of the Rafah offensive.[31] The attack was described as a massacre by multiple media outlets,[32][33] some of whom referred to it as the Rafah tent massacre[b] or the Tent Massacre.[37][38][39][c]

Israel stated it had targeted a Hamas compound and killed two senior Hamas commanders: the West Bank Chief of Staff Yassin Rabia and senior official Khaled Nagar, "in accordance with international law".[5] John Kirby stated that Hamas confirmed the deaths of the two commanders.[40] However, witnesses speaking to Mondoweiss and CNN said that no militants were found in the camp.[41][42]

Casualties

The Gaza Health Ministry (GHM), stated the attack killed at least 45 people, and ActionAid UK said it killed 50.[1][2] The GHM said that among the fatalities were at least 12 women, eight children, and three elderly.[3] Doctors Without Borders said that dozens of civilians were injured,[43] with the GHM eventually confirming 65 injuries.[44] It later raised the number of injuries to over 200.[14]

Victims of the attack were rushed to the Emirati Hospital,[45] but the GHM said that Rafah hospitals didn't have enough resources to deal with the number of injured people.[14] The only hospital in Rafah had eight beds and no intensive care units.[46]

Analysis and investigation

The attack drew multiple independent investigations and analyses from media outlets[28] and military analysts.[47][48]

Egypt, the Palestinian authority and other investigations concluded that Israel deliberately targeted civilians in the attack.[49][50] Israel also investigated the incident, saying it was a "tragic mishap".[51] A panel of UN experts said Israel bears responsibility for its actions and calling it a "mistake" after the fact does not make the attack legal.[52] The experts said the Israeli attack was both indiscriminate and disproportionate.[52]

Target of the attack

Israel said the target of the attack was a "Hamas compound" with two senior Hamas officials, whom it identified as Yassin Rabia and Khaled Nagar.[53] The IDF said they believed "there were no civilians" in the compound.[54] Earlier IDF had released surveillance footage that showed four people standing outside the structure the IDF said they targeted, raising questions on whether they knew of civilians nearby and accepted them as collateral damage.[55] Israeli newspaper Haaretz stated the IDF struck a "dense" area.[54]

Satellite image analysis by India Today located the site of the airstrike to "Kuwait Peace Camp", leading the newspaper to conclude "satellite images show Israel targeting Rafah refugee camps".[56] The Washington Post analyzed satellite imagery and found "more than a dozen tent-like structures" around the tin structures targeted.[57] The Guardian located the attack to the "edge of rows of tents" of the Kuwaiti camp, and quoted a resident who said this location was "a medical point surrounded by a lot of tents, in an area with more than 4,000 people".[28] A New York Times investigation concluded that Israel directly struck the camp, saying the metal structures targeted were part of the camp and intended for civilian use.[58] In June, NBC News said that analysis of the attack and interviews with survivors indicated that Israeli commanders should have known there were civilians in the area of the strike.[59]

Al Jazeera's fact checking agency concluded the strike deliberately targeted the camp.[49] The Palestinian Authority,[50] Egypt,[60] witnesses[49] and multiple humanitarian groups also said Israel deliberately targeted the refugee camp.[61][62]

Munitions used

 
A GBU-39 bomb, similar to the one used in the attack

Analyses of video footage by The New York Times and CNN showed that the munition was a variant on the US-made precision guided GBU-39 bomb (sometimes called a missile),[55] though the exact variant was unclear.[63] The GBU-39 is a 250 pounds (110 kg) bomb with an explosive weight of 17 kilograms (37 lb).[64] Israel said it fired two missiles equipped with 17 kilograms (37 lb) of explosives each.

Mark Cancian, a Marine Corps Reserves colonel, said the large debris field indicated the bombs appear to be programmed to detonate in the air before impact.[47] This decision by the IDF would increase the probability that the targets were killed but it would also maximize area damage and risk unintended deaths.[47]

Israel stated the use of precision munitions was as an effort to minimize civilian casualties, however, other military experts doubted this.[55] The 250-lb GBU-39 produces less collateral damage than the 2,000 lb bombs Israel had been previously using in the bombing of the Gaza Strip.[64] The Biden administration had pushed Israel away from using 2,000 lbs and towards using more 250-lb precision ones.[64] But even smaller and precision-guided munitions like GBU-39 can inflict "severe civilian casualties" if used improperly.[64] The blast from a GBU-39 can kill or injure anyone in a 1,000 feet (300 m) radius,[65] and shrapnel from the bomb shell travel as far as 2,000 feet (610 m).[47]

USAF sergeant Wes J. Bryant, who has experience using the GBU-39, said munition is not meant to be near civilian encampments and the US military would not have used the bomb given that civilians were in the "effects radius".[66] The fact that Israel used it in a densely populated civilian area indicated "either an unwillingness or inability to effectively safeguard civilians".[55] Trevor Ball, a United States Army explosives technician, said the bombs' fragments can travel up to 600 meters, concluding "so that just doesn’t check out if they’re trying to limit casualties".[47]

Amnesty International stated that, given the large kill radius of the GBU-39 bomb, its usage in a densely populated civilian area constituted an indiscriminate attack, and therefore should be investigated as a war crime.[67]

Fire

The IDF said the fire was "unexpected",[68] adding "[o]ur munition alone could not have ignited a fire of this size."[48] Frederic Gras, a French munitions analyst, questioned this reasoning, arguing "any explosion starts a fire as soon as flammable products are in the vicinity."[48] Likewise, a U.S. Army bomb diffusing expert said "a bomb of any size" can start a fire, as explosives release a lot of heat that can cause materials found in camps to catch on fire.[69] Multiple sources pointed out that refugee camps typically contain flammable material, such as cooking gas canisters which could have been ignited by the airstrike.[28][68] An investigation by Amnesty International determined the likely cause of the fire was cooking fuel stored in the tent camp.[67]

On May 27, Israeli officials initially told their American counterparts that they believed the fire was caused by shrapnel from the strike igniting a nearby fuel tank.[70][71] The same day, an unnamed Gazan narrator said the explosion was caused by a "Hamas jeep loaded with weapons".[72] Later, the IDF suggested that a militant warehouse containing ammunition or "some other material" in the area caused the fire. It also released an Arabic phone call, supposedly made by Hamas, in which they clearly say that the Israeli missile was not responsible for the fire, that the fire was caused by secondary explosions, and the secondary explosions came from an ammunition warehouse.[73] However, James Cavanaugh, who worked at the ATF, said the fire did not indicate "some giant stash that exploded."[68] The New York Times reviewed numerous videos and did not find evidence of a significant secondary explosion.[58]

Reactions

Domestic

Palestine

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad condemned the attack, labeling it a massacre and calling for the Palestinian people to "rise up and march" against Israel.[5] A spokesperson for the Presidency of the Palestinian Authority condemned the incident, calling it a massacre[74] and called for an intervention.[75][76] A survivor of the attack stated, "They told us that this area is safe... but now there is no safe place in Gaza. There are massacres everywhere."[77] A lawyer with the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights stated the attack showed Israel was ignoring the International Court of Justice's interim orders.[78]

Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the incident was a "tragic mishap".[79] Initially, the Israeli military said the attack was "under review",[43] while its top military prosecutor Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi called the incident "very grave".[80]

Some Israelis celebrated the attack, likening it to the Jewish holiday Lag BaOmer, in which bonfires are lit to commemorate a second century Rabbi. The analogy was made by Israel's Channel 14 senior journalist Yinon Magal, who posted pictures on social media captioned: "The main lighting of the year in Rafah" and by i24NEWS' Naveh Dromi commenting "Happy Holiday." Both posts were later removed. The comparison was also made by far-right rapper Yoav Eliasi, who posted videos on Telegram in celebration of the attack and also likened it to the holiday. Some Israeli social media users also shared memes and jokes about the attack, while others condemned the posts.[81][82][83]
