The gates of hell are ready and waiting to burst forth in Rafah, the last remaining refuge of the Palestinian people still alive in Gaza. And already, in eager expectation of the promised ground invasion, Israel is once again raining down white phosphorus on them in violation of international human rights law.
According to reports, May 8 is when Israel started blasting Rafah with white phosphorus munitions, which were illegally targeted towards civilians and civilian infrastructure throughout the enclave.
“Overnight and into the early hours of the morning, the Israeli military continued to pound parts of eastern Rafah city,” the media reported, adding that scant remaining health facilities in Rafah are unable to handle the large number of injuries and casualties occurring.
On the morning of May 8, 2024, the city of Rafah was struck with internationally banned white phosphorus in front of all cameras and on all channels (Al-Jeneina neighborhood axis) ??? #Rafah #RafahUnderAttack #RafahHolocaust #rafah_genocide pic.twitter.com/pAMBomXMqA

Since the start of the genocide, Israel has used white phosphorus on civilians not only in Gaza but also in Lebanon numerous times – the many vaporized corpses being found in Gaza are evidence of that.
Israel is also using, it appears, illegal thermobaric weapons to destroy the Palestinian people, a method that is also leaving behind unidentifiable, vaporized remains.
We have received word that the long-closed Kerem Shalom border crossing in and out of Gaza was reopened this week after being closed, while the Rafah crossing, described by The Cradle as “a key lifeline for Palestinians,” is now closed indefinitely.
It would seem as though Israel wants to end the lives of everyone who still remains in Gaza, not just Hamas. All roughly 1.4 million people hunkered down there are being deprived of aid, meaning no food, medicines or other necessities.
Area locals say Gaza is absolutely in an engineered famine right now as Israel cuts off every last lifeline into the Palestinian enclave in an attempt to starve out and otherwise destroy these targeted people.
The United Nations (UN) and other outsiders, including Israel’s “best friend” the United States, are doing little to nothing to stop the horror show. The UN continues to issue verbal slaps on the wrist while the Biden regime withholds some ammo and arms while sending gobs of cash and other supplies to the Zionist regime.
On May 7, Israel heavily bombarded Rafah in an attack that injured and killed numerous children, including a four-month-old baby and six- and eight-year-old children who were living in the Qishta family home. Israel bombed the residence, killing most of its inhabitants.
Israel also successfully captured the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing with tanks and troops, which has sealed the remaining Palestinian people inside the much-smaller open-air concentration camp of the southern Gaza city.
The day after this bombardment occurred, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued an empty statement about how Israel’s full-scale assault on Rafah would be “a strategic mistake,” borrowing from the same language as the Biden regime (more about what the Biden regime is doing with regard to Israel’s war can be found in this article).
These sentiments are nice and all, but perhaps the West should stop funding the very war they are condemning if they truly want to be taken seriously as alleged advocates for the innocent Palestinians who are embattled in Israel’s crosshairs.
