What is ‘All Eyes On Rafah’?

As Israeli strikes killed over 40 Palestinians, including many children, in Gaza’s Rafah, people from around the world came together to condemn the attack. After visuals of dead bodies and severely injured Palestinians surfaced on social media, an image with the text ‘All Eyes on Rafah’ also started trending.

While the Israeli military said its air force struck a Hamas compound in Rafah and the strike was carried out with “precise ammunition and on the basis of precise intelligence”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that a “tragic mistake” had been made.

“Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night there was a tragic mishap,” Netanyahu said Monday in an address to Israel’s parliament. “We are investigating the incident and will obtain a conclusion because this is our policy,” he added.

Sunday night’s attack has pushed the overall Palestinian death toll in the war above 36,000, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between fighters and noncombatants in its tally.
