Gaza/ About 80,000 people left Rafah, after Israel's warning
According to the United Nations agency, about 80,000 people fled the territory of Rafah since the beginning of the week. People are once again facing forced displacement and Gaza is an unsafe place. In the territory of Rafah, more than 1 million Palestinians were displaced from their homes, and half of them were children.
Their move came after the Israeli army warned it would attack the country and suggested people flee to humanitarian zones, where they say there are hospitals, tents and supplies. Rafah is the last unassailable area in Gaza, and Israel believes thousands of Hamas fighters are hiding there.
USA/ American soldier is shot by a police officer
Roger Fortson, 23, a member of the US Air Force, was shot dead by a police officer who reportedly entered the wrong address. A sheriff's deputy shot him after receiving a call in the area. According to the police, he shot after seeing the victim with a gun in his hand.
Fortson's lawyer, on the other hand, claims that the police entered the wrong address and that may be the reason why the deceased had a gun in his hand. A full investigation is required for the serious incident. Fortson immediately received first aid and was taken to the hospital, but died from his injuries.
