Background[edit]
On 6 May 2024, Israel began the Rafah offensive during the Israel-Hamas war. Israel had previously been criticized during the offensive for the offensive itself and airstrikes conducted by Israel on Palestinian civilians, such as the Tel Al-Sultan massacre, in which 45–50 Palestinian civilians were killed in an area designated a "safe zone" for civilians in the Gaza Strip.[4][5]
