This morning, there are growing concerns surrounding a deadly incident that occurred along Egypt's border with Gaza. Egypt has confirmed that one of its security personnel was killed in a shooting earlier today, but details remain scarce at this time.
This incident comes on the heels of a strong reaction from Swifton following a deadly Israeli airstrike in Rafah. The airstrike targeted a camp for displaced Palestinians, sparking outrage and calls for investigation.
Retired Army Brigadier General Mark Kimmett, former Assistant Secretary of State for Political Military Affairs, weighed in on the situation. General Kimmett emphasized the importance of conducting a thorough investigation into the airstrike, particularly due to reports suggesting that the target was terrorist leaders associated with Hamas in the West Bank.
However, General Kimmett expressed concerns about the proximity of the airstrike to a civilian-populated area, highlighting the potential for collateral damage and the violation of international laws governing military operations near civilian populations.
The incident underscores broader concerns about the impact of airstrikes in civilian areas and the need for adherence to established rules and regulations to prevent harm to innocent bystanders.
