Israel Bombs Kindergarten In Rafah As War Moves To South Gaza
Palestinians in the border city face Israeli bombs or expulsion to Egypt as Israel presses offensive
Israeli warplanes bombed a kindergarten in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza on 4 February, killing two children and injuring dozens more, WAFA news agency reported.
The kindergarten was hosting civilians seeking shelter from Israeli bombing in other parts of the besieged enclave, according to local and medical sources speaking with the agency.
Palestinians also reported that two girls were killed in a house following Israeli airstrikes and tank shelling, Reuters reported the same day.
At the funeral for the children, a relative, Mohammed Kaloub, said the airstrike hit a room full of women and children in Rafah’s Al-Salam neighborhood.
“There is no safe place in Gaza, from the wire fence to the wire fence (borders from north to south), there is no safe place,” he told Reuters.
Scores more were wounded after Israeli warplanes bombed a residential area in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip.
… After almost four months of war, some 90 percent of Gazans have been displaced from their homes, including many who moved south to Rafah to escape Israeli bombing and heavy fighting in north and central Gaza.
But Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowed last week to expand Israeli military operations in Rafah.
