Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Sunday’s deadly Israeli airstrike on a Rafah camp had gone tragically wrong.

“Despite our best effort, not to harm those not involved, unfortunately a tragic mistake happened last night. We are investigating the case,” Netanyahu said about the strike in a speech at the Israeli Knesset on Monday.

At least 45 people were killed and 200 wounded after the Israeli strike hit a camp for displaced people, according to the government media office in Gaza.

The Israeli military’s General Staff’s Fact-Finding and Assessment Mechanism is investigating an airstrike carried out in Rafah on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Monday.

    Yeah, happens to me all the time as well. People specifically ask me not to commit acts of genocide in a specific population, and I just accidentally bomb them anyway a few hours later.

    It’s truly tragic, but there’s really nothing I can do about it, and I honestly wish people would stop bitching about it.

      Hey, don’t beat yourself up about it. Who hasn’t accidentally bombed a camp of displaced peoples? The important thing is to apologize and try not to get caught bomb the next one.

        Don’t forget to do some self reflection so you can come to the conclusion that it wasn’t your fault

          And make sure you investigate yourself thoroughly.
