This quick clip, provided by a Palestinian civilian recorder, shows an incredibly large IAF strike landing in Rafah as other civilians vacate the area on foot or by bicycle.
Another person can be seen using a piece of rubble for cover and/or stability as they record the impending strike as well. When it arrives, the entire background and all its scenery, sparse as it is, appears to be obliterated while the shockwave rips past the other civilians. Perhaps more telling than anything is the comparatively slow way in which they were fleeing in the face of such destruction. Whether you blame Hamas for starting the war or Israel for how they prosecute it, the plight of the civilians in the crossfire is extreme.
