The attacks by Israel on refugee camps in Rafah, Gaza, have led to widespread outrage from Islamic to Western nations. On Monday, thousands of Palestinians took to the streets of Paris, the capital of France. People accused Israel of committing a massacre in Gaza.
In addition, the protesters called on the French government to take strict action against Israel and to pressure them to establish a ceasefire in Gaza. During the protest in the Saint Augustine area, confrontations with the police occurred, which led to the police firing tear gas to control the protesters.
A protester named Valerie Flor said, 'We don't want to be responsible for this crime against humanity. As a French citizen, it's unbearable to know that our President says nothing about the situation. What's happening in the Rafah Strip of Gaza is insufferable.'
Israel had conducted an aerial assault on the refugee camps in Rafah, Gaza, on Sunday night that killed at least 45 Palestinians. Dozens were injured. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has severely condemned this attack, describing it as a heinous act of genocide against the Palestinians.
Further, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation described Israel's attack as a war crime, a crime against humanity, and state-sponsored terrorism. OIC stated that the perpetrators of this assault should be held accountable under international criminal law.
Netanyahu says it was a 'tragic mistake'!
Following the loss of Palestinian lives in the attack on Rafah, Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that it was a 'tragic mistake.' He added that they didn't want this to happen. Typically, Israel maintains that its aim in Gaza is to spare civilians and target only the terrorists of Hamas hiding among them. However, the unintended casualties of innocent people have led to international criticism.

Israeli strikes rock Gaza
Following a missile attack by Hamas on Israel after five months, the IDF swiftly retaliated. The Israeli military conducted an intensive air raid in Rafah such that the entire Gaza was shaken. In the onslaught, about 45 Palestinians died. Even though the Israeli army had alerted the residents of Rafah before the assault, Hamas attacked Tel Aviv with rockets on Sunday once again, prompting Israel to respond.
Rafah hit with a massive air strike
Israel launched a mighty air strike in Rafah. Hamas's mistake has led to the suffering of civilians. Meanwhile, Palestinians have accused the Israeli army and the US President of deceit. They claim they are being given false hope for a ceasefire. On the other hand, the Israeli military says that the attack was aimed at Hamas positions, but the refugee camps got caught in the crossfire, albeit unintentionally.
Most victims are children and women
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, most of the deceased are children and women. The Israeli forces carried out this attack late Sunday night, leading to widespread chaos. IDF confirmed the aerial attacks in Rafah, arguing that the strikes were based on precise intelligence on Hamas's locations. The IDF also acknowledged that their air force had targeted a Hamas compound in Rafah.

The International Court of Justice, located in The Hague, Netherlands, has delivered a significant blow to Israel. The ICJ ordered Israel to stop the military operation being conducted in Rafah, Gaza. The world's top court made this decision in response to a petition by South Africa. Despite this, the Israeli army continues to carry out attacks across Gaza from north to south.
ICJ demands a report within a month
Previously, the ICJ stated that Israel should immediately cease its military operations in Rafah, which pose a threat to Palestinians. The court also directed Israel to submit a report on the measures taken in response to this ruling within one month. Presiding judge Nawaf Salam said, 'The court believes that under the Genocide Convention, Israel should immediately halt its military campaign in Rafah, Gaza.'
