At least 45 people were killed, the Gaza Health Ministry said. The IDF said two Hamas officials were killed and the incident was under investigation.

Nothing on the horrible bombing in Rafah yesterday? This has to stop. Where is the red line?

You'll be glad to hear there are two other posts on this that I've seen. The more the better, I say - this deserves attention.

I don't know how the people in Gaza endure. The suffering is just horrific.

How is it allowed that all hospitals in Rafah have been forced closed except for a small 25-bed hospital with not even a burn unit? Where do the dozens suffering burns or injuries from the bombings go?

I think the "red line" disappeared by incremental creep, or the promise of "refinement" of tactics that a certain NSA was talked into believing, or perhaps it was just a bluff that didn't work out. Maybe it's being moved to the shores of the Mediterranean. In any scenario, it's very disheartening.

I agree, it has to stop. Way past time.
