Summary
Commander of Hamas’ Rafah Brigade, whom an intelligence source in ‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza said the army destroyed a high-rise building in Rafah in mid-December 2023, killing “dozens of civilians,” in order to try to kill; it is not clear in the article whether or not he was killed in the attack (line 308).
Details
- Witness Wael Al-Sir, 55, said most of those injured were children, and that the bombing on Dec. 20 destroyed an “entire residential block” and killed at least 10 children (line 310).
- The source said senior commanders often hide in tunnels that pass under civilian buildings, so the choice to assassinate them with an airstrike necessarily kills civilians (line 308).
