The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have released video footage of an airstrike targeting a group of armed individuals gathered near a structure claimed to be a humanitarian aid warehouse in Rafah, southern Gaza. The footage shows the strike, which was called in by soldiers from the Negev Brigade who identified the gunmen at the site.
The IDF maintains that the building was being used by militants, a claim likely to spark further controversy given the sensitive nature of the location. The incident adds to the escalating violence in the region, raising concerns over the use of civilian infrastructure in the conflict.
The IDF’s decision to publish the footage appears aimed at justifying the strike amid accusations of targeting civilian areas. The video, however, has drawn mixed reactions, with some condemning the targeting of what is purported to be an aid facility.
