On this day, 7 years ago, we remember the Black Friday massacre in Rafah.

IDF killed more than 140 Palestinians, including 75 children, and injured 1,000 other civilians.


Amnesty International said that the Israeli forces committed war crimes in retaliation for the capture of one of its soldiers, through a systematic and deliberate pattern of air and ground attacks launched by the Israeli army on Rafah, which led to the deaths of 135 civilians.

On August 15, 2018, Israeli Military Prosecutor Sharon Afek announced the closure of the file and the lack of need to open a criminal investigation, as it was found that the Israeli forces acted in accordance with law and legitimate operational considerations.
