ISRAEL was condemned around the world after 45 people were killed in the horrific bombing of a refugee camp in Rafah.

Some victims were burnt alive as fires spread through a tented village in the southern Gaza city on Sunday.

Last night, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed there had been a “tragic mistake” and his officials were investigating the attack.

The Israel Defense Forces said it had killed two senior Hamas figures, Yassin Rabia and Khaled Nagar, in a precise airstrike in north-west Rafah.

Shocking videos showed a large explosion and intense fires burning, with structures ablaze next to a banner saying Kuwaiti Peace Camp 1.
