Eight Israeli soldiers were killed in Rafah on Saturday when their vehicle was hit by an explosion - the military's worst single-day loss since January. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel's war on Gaza will continue, despite what he calls the staggering cost of the war. Hamas says its fighters carried out the attack in a complex ambush.

Hospitals in Gaza have been treating the wounded since the war began, but they have been constantly overwhelmed. Many patients have no choice but to sleep on the floor, and some require help that the hospitals are unable to provide. Due to the closure of the Rafah crossing to Egypt, patients cannot receive necessary treatment abroad. The Israeli blockade is also denying Gaza’s hospitals essential medical supplies, worsening the situation. Doctors warn that if the blockade is not lifted, many more will die, urging international organisations to pressure Israel to open the crossing and allow aid in.

The New York Times reports that the bombs employed in the Israeli airstrike in Rafah, resulting in the deaths of at least 45 people on Sunday, were manufactured in the United States. According to the report, weapons experts analyzed visual evidence from debris found at the site, uncovering remnants of a GBU-39 bomb originating from the US. Omar Ashour, a professor of security and military studies at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, suggested that Israel's military likely refrained from specifying the precise bomb used in the attack on the Rafah tent encampment to avoid "embarrassing" the administration of US President Biden. Despite being labelled as "precision-guided," Ashour noted that GBU-39 bombs are "not always accurate," hitting their target only 80 to 90 percent of the time. He further emphasized that these bombs can miss "by a significant margin," resulting in extensive civilian casualties in densely populated areas like Rafah. Ashour highlighted the troubling nature of continuing to deploy such weapons, given the significant risk to innocent lives.
