(Open Source Intelligence Monitor) CNN defense analysts have now determined that the Israeli airstrike on May 26 against a Hamas compound in western Rafah, which was believed to have caused a fire which resulted in the death of 35-45 Palestinians, could not have been "completely caused" by the Israeli airstrike due to the size of the explosion. Shrapnel and parts discovered in the rubble of the Hamas compound, which was roughly 200 meters from the UNRWA refugee camp, suggest that the strike was carried out using 2 GBU-39 small diameter bombs. These bombs would not have been nearly powerful enough to have caused any kind of "splash damage" to the camp. What Israeli defense officials have suggested is likely true, which is that Hamas munitions which were hidden between the compound and camp were detonated by shrapnel from the airstrike, causing the explosion of fuel tanks at the camp and the eventual fire. 2024-06-02 00:00:00Full Article
