Both Israelis And Palestinians In The West Bank Are Holding Mass Protests Against Israel’s Massacre In Rafah
Protests broke out in the cities of Ramallah, Jenin – which has often been a target of Israeli raids –and Haifa, after Israeli forces dropped 2,000-pound bombs on displacement camps in Rafah.
Both Israelis and Palestinians in the Israel-occupied West Bank held massive protests against Israel’s massacre in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
Large-scale protests erupted after Israeli forces dropped 2,000-pound bombs on displacement camps in Rafah, killing more than 60 Palestinians, mostly women and children, over the past few days.
On the evening of Sunday, May 26, two days after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to immediately halt its military assault on Rafah, Israeli forces bombed a displacement camp in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood, killing at least 40 Palestinians and injuring several others.
Videos and photos circulating social media showed graphic scenes of scattered and burned bodies, as well as people holding up the bodies of children whose heads had been blown off.
The Israeli military took responsibility for the attack, saying the camp was a Hamas compound and that the strike was carried out with “precise ammunition and on the basis of precise intelligence.”
Two days after the attack in Tel al-Sultan, Israel bombed another camp in the Al-Mawasi area west of Rafah, where it had ordered civilians to evacuate ahead of its offensive, killing at least 21 Palestinians.
People took to the streets on Monday, May 27, in the cities of Ramallah, Jenin – which has often been a target of Israeli raids –and Haifa, to raise their voices against Israel’s latest attack.
Protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans in solidarity with the people of Gaza, calling for an end to Israel’s genocide.
However, later in the day, Israeli police violently cracked down on the protesters and arrested several people.
Meanwhile, thousands of people across the world, including in New York, Paris, Germany, and Lebanon, also protested against Israel’s relentless airstrikes in Rafah.
Since Oct. 7, Israel’s ongoing genocide on Gaza has killed more than 36,000 Palestinians and injured more than 80,000 people, mostly women and children.
