During the Super Bowl, Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Rafah, a refugee camp in Gaza, resulting in over a hundred civilian casualties, including 67 children. The strikes were part of what has been termed the #SuperBowlMassacre, coinciding with an Israeli ad campaign aired during the Super Bowl, promoting the country's stance on bringing hostages home. Over 1.4 million Palestinians were sheltering in Rafah, following Israeli directives. Amnesty International reported the death toll at 95, nearly half of whom were children. The military action has been criticized for targeting areas where civilians had sought refuge. Reports indicate that the strikes involved the use of internationally prohibited incendiary missiles, leading to severe injuries among survivors. A rally in support of Rafah is scheduled to take place in Hartford, highlighting the international outcry against the military operation.

Israel launched the #SuperBowlMassacre when its ad campaign went live on national American TV. More than 100 Palestinian civilians were killed in a few minutes.
Israel launched an ad campaign about bringing hostages home during the Superbowl yesterday, then hours later carpet bombed the one remaining place of quasi-refuge left in Gaza. The country's military herded Palestinians into Rafah and now they are sitting ducks.
While the Super Bowl was on, the Israelis bombed a refugee camp in Rafah and killed over a hundred civilians - some of the images that have emerged are beyond horrific. I'm not sharing them. Whatever target they thought they were hitting, it wasn't worth it.
