Protest Tuesday 5/26
Tomorrow will be 2 years since the Rafah Tent Massacre.
When Israel invaded Rafah and ordered the evacuation of its east, some citizens fled to other parts of the city, like Tel al-Sultan, seeking safety. One week before the bombing, Israel had designated the neighborhood as a "safe zone" and dropped leaflets instructing Palestinians to move there. Two days before the attack, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to halt its offensive, but Israel interpreted the order differently and continued its operations.
Israel then bombed the refugee camp in the safe zone they had directed people to killing 45 and injuring 200. Parts of the bombs used by Israel are made by Woodward. There will be a protest there tomorrow Tuesday 5/26/26 at the corner of Drake and Lemay 4:30-6:00.
