Declassified UK revealed on May 8th the RAF has conducted 200 surveillance flights over Gaza since December 3rd

Two more #US officials resign over #Biden administration’s #genocide in #Gaza, accusing the administration of lying about Israel’s obstruction of aid to Palestinians
The Israeli military has lifted a ban on the sale of food to Gaza from Israel & the occupied #WestBank as its battlefield offensive chokes international aid, acc/to #Palestinian officials, businessmen (sic) & international aid workers.
“I saw bodies everywhere. Children burning. I saw heads without bodies, the injured running around in pain, some alive but trapped inside burning tents.”
~ Zuhair, a lawyer sheltering in a tent in Rafah with his family, on the Israel attack on the tent camp
The Royal Air Force is flying reconnaissance and intelligence gathering missions over #Gaza in support of the #IDF, and has been since the outset of the Israeli assault.
What does the RAF know about the attack on #Rafah at the weekend? Is the RAF complicit in war crimes?
Two Red Crescent paramedics were murdered by #IDF while they were working in #Rafah last night. Their ambulance was hit directly and intentionally.
Of course the usual excuse by IDF is that there were #Hamas fighters in the ambulances. Ignoring that injured fighters are not legitimate targets, specially if they are inside an ambulance receiving care.
“They are permanently, constantly, fleeing for their lives, from one danger zone to another. And they’re not fleeing randomly – they’re going to the areas that Israel directed them to go to ‘for their own safety’. Then they are being attacked.”

Algeria’s UNSC resolution calls on Israel to halt Rafah offensive immediately
"The draft text demands a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the release of all captives held by Hamas, & essentially orders Israel to cease military its operations in Rafah:
"... that Israel, the occupying Power, shall immediately halt its military offensive, & any other action in Rafah”.
The US has "shielded Israel by vetoing 3 draft council resolutions".
