Israeli military prosecutor says ‘very serious’ Rafah incident under investigation

Jerusalem: Israel’s top military prosecutor on Monday described an airstrike on Rafah that Gaza health authorities said killed dozens of Palestinian civilians as “very serious” and said the military’s investigation into the attack was ongoing.

“The details of the incident are still subject to an investigation, which we will conduct in full,” Major General Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi said at a conference of the Israel Bar Association.

“The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) regrets any harm inflicted on non-combatants during the war.”
