Original Note:
The real targets were two senior Hamas agents, hiding in a compound near the civilians’ tents. Footage of the incident indicated there were secondary explosions following the strike. Hamas uses civilians as human shields by hiding amongst them, a war crime. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-investigating-cause-blaze-that-followed-rafah-air-strike-2024-05-28/ https://guide-humanitarian-law.org/content/article/3/human-shields/#:~:text=It%20is%20prohibited%20to%20seize%20or%20to%20use,28%2C%2049%3B%20API%20Art.%2051.7%3B%20APII%20Art.%205.2.c%29.
