BBC Verify | More Palestinians have fled temporary shelters in Rafah following airstrikes and tank fire by Israeli forces overnight. |
By Peter Mwai and Paul Brown | According to officials in Gaza, at least 16 people were killed. |
| |
BBC Verify is checking footage posted to | |
Palestinian social media channels showing signs of strikes in parts of | |
Rafah. | |
On Monday, footage emerged of two people lying | |
motionless on the street around 50 meters from the city's Kuwaiti hospital. | |
Media reports say that two people were killed in a drone strike at this spot. | |
We were able to identify the location using | |
landmarks such as a minaret belonging to a mosque directly | |
adjacent the hospital building. But we are yet to verify the cause of the incident. | |
Another clip posted overnight shows a small | |
column of smoke rising from the Indonesian field hospital - a distinctive | |
building located around a mile away from the site of Sunday night’s refugee | |
camp strike. | |
In a nearby area of the city, we have also seen | |
smoke rising close to the Taiba mosque - identifiable by distinctive | |
twin minarets. | |
There are also clips of people being brought into | |
hospitals. | |
We will continue to review footage to gain a | |
better understanding of the situation in Rafah. | |
