Israel demolishes 80 percent of Rafah, satellite images reveal

Israeli forces have razed roughly 80 percent of Rafah’s buildings and refugee camps in southern Gaza, according to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, which cited satellite imagery analysis.

The widespread destruction underscores the devastating toll of Israel’s military campaign on the densely populated city, once a refuge for displaced Palestinians.

Critics argue this level of demolition reflects a deliberate policy to render Rafah uninhabitable, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
