French President Emmanuel Macron has reacted with outrage to an Israeli airstrike near Rafah in the Gaza Strip that killed at least 35 people.
“These operations must stop,” Macron wrote on the social media platform X on Monday. “There are no safe zones for Palestinian civilians in Rafah.”
He was furious, Macron wrote, and called for an immediate ceasefire and full compliance with international law.
At least 35 people were killed and dozens of others injured in Israel’s airstrike on a tent camp near the southern city of Rafah on Sunday, according to the Hamas-controlled health authority. According to the Red Crescent, the tents of fleeing civilians were hit during the attack.
The Israeli army spoke of an attack on a complex of the Palestinian Islamic Hamas movement. The attack killed senior Hamas members, the report said.
On Friday, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to immediately end the military operation in Rafah.
