Israel faces international backlash over attack in Rafah that killed 45 people

Israel says it is investigating the "accident" in the biggest incident since the October 7 intervention in the Gaza war and its impact on civilians.

Both sides say they are investigating.

The Israeli military said an attack in southern Rafah on Sunday night targeted and killed two senior Hamas members, but also sparked a fire in which Palestinians and many Arab countries condemned the "killing".

A spokesman for the US National Security Council said Israel "must take every precaution to protect civilians."

While UN Middle East spokesman Thor Winnisland called on Israel to conduct a "full and transparent" investigation into the attack, the Israeli army also said that it had launched an investigation.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Walker Turk condemned the "horrific" images, which "show that there has been no significant change in the war and the process used by the Israeli people, which has caused the death of many citizens." ".

The Israeli military said its planes "attacked Hamas territory in Rafah" and killed senior Hamas leaders in the West Bank, Yassin Rabia and Khaled Nagar.

Egypt condemned the actions "against the unarmed population" as "part of the regime that aims to spread death and destruction in Gaza and evacuate the population."

Jordan accuses Israel of "continuing the war", Saudi Arabia condemns "continued massacres" and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vows to "catch the terrorists and kill this person".

Qatar declared an "egregious international violation" and expressed "concern that the explosion will lead to a continuing breach of the peace."
