In a tragic turn of events, Israeli forces on Friday shelled tent camps housing displaced Palestinians near Rafah in southern Gaza. The incident has left at least 25 dead and another 50 injured, according to the territory's Health Ministry and emergency responders.

Witnesses and first responders recounted the harrowing scene, detailing how the shelling targeted two densely populated coastal locations. According to Ahmed Radwan of Civil Defense, the shelling occurred just outside an Israeli-designated safe zone.

Though the Israeli military claims the episode is under review and alleges that there is no indication of a strike carried out by its forces, international scrutiny intensifies as evidence mounts of civilian casualties in the ongoing conflict. The shelling follows a previous deadly attack in southern Gaza, sparking widespread international outrage.
