The United Arab Emirates condemned on Monday what it said was Israel targeting tents of displaced people in Rafah, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

It stressed the importance of implementing the ICJ's ruling that demanded Israel immediately halt its military operations in Rafah.

An Israeli government spokesperson said on Monday the initial findings of an Israeli investigation into a mass-casualty event in the Gazan city were that an air strike against Hamas commanders set off a fire which killed Palestinian civilians.
