An Israeli airstrike on Rafah reportedly killed at least nine Palestinian doctors and 10 children, according to Gaza health officials. The attack targeted a medical facility allegedly used by Hamas, which Israel claims housed militant operations. Palestinian sources deny military presence, stating it was purely a healthcare center. This incident escalates tensions amid stalled ceasefire talks, with international organizations condemning the high civilian toll. The strike occurred despite recent ICJ orders for Israel to halt its Rafah offensive, drawing widespread criticism over proportionality and adherence to international law.

    This is absolutely unconscionable - there are no words, perhaps just one: genocide

    I hope Israel can somehow be stopped for these crimes against humanity.

    Title could use a comma (and remove the apostrophe). It currently reads that 9 out of 10 children were killed, not 9 doctors AND 10 children.

    Edit: Looks like the summary is wrong, and the title is correct

    The headline fits the article but not the summary. Nine out of her ten children killed, her husband and the remaining child in hospital. Her husband is also a doctor but no mention of doctors killed.

    Just clarifying, not justifying.

    For when you really want to kill all the children but don’t want to be caught directly killing them all. (Just kill all the doctors and food aid workers)
