Israel’s top military lawyer describes an overnight IDF airstrike on Rafah that Hamas health authorities in Gaza say has killed dozens of civilians as “very grave,” and says an after-action investigation by the armed forces is still ongoing.
“The details of the incident are still under an investigation, which we are committed to conducting to the fullest extent,” Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi tells a conference hosted by the Israel Bar Association.
“The IDF regrets any harm to noncombatants during the war.”
