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.
“Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians,
last night there was a tragic mistake,”we bombed a densely populated refugee camp which we previously designated as a safe zone and burned women and children alive - Netanyahu said Monday in an address to Israel’s parliament.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.
Sure and the holocaust was just a big oopsie!
Surely he is indeed a tragic mistake
…that the Israeli people somehow keep making over and over again.
He’s right. Selling him the weapons to do it was a tragic mistake.
30k+ mistake. Yeah right. The slaughter continues. This was not the first and it won’t be the last
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.
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.
“sorry you saw me killing more kids”
“look what you made me do”
He considers it a tragic mistake that he got caught, not that it happened.
How many times has he used that excuse so far?
If Silia Kapsis calls you a liar, then you are a liar. (I’m referring to Benny Net n’ Yahoo btw)
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.

You’re fucking right it’s a tragic mistake, now what’ll you do to make up for it?
