French President Emmanuel Macron reacted with outrage to an Israeli air strike near Rafah, in the Gaza Strip, which left at least 35 people dead.
“These operations must stop,” Macron wrote on social media platform X on Monday. “There are no safe zones for Palestinian civilians in Rafah.”
He was outraged, Macron wrote, and called for an immediate ceasefire and full compliance with international law.
According to the Hamas-controlled health authority, at least 35 people were killed and dozens injured in the Israeli airstrike on a camp near the southern city of Rafah on Sunday. According to the Red Crescent, the tents of fleeing civilians were hit in the attack.
The Israeli military spoke of an attack on a compound belonging to the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas. Senior Hamas members were killed in the attack, he said.
On Friday, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Israel to immediately end the military operation in Rafah.
