"after another volley of Israeli airstrikes against the city, Mohammad Jaber al-Absi and his brother Abed would end up burying 15 members of their family, including their father and five children."
Samour described seeing charred bodies in the massacre, torn-apart children, and the wounded crying for help in vain.
“I saw people trying to pull the bodies of their loved ones from the fire while the smoke filled the air and made it difficult for us to breathe,” she told The Intercept in an interview.
" El White House, which had repeatedly cautioned Israel against invading Rafah without a “plan to protect civilians,”
nevertheless signed off on a new $1 billion arms sale to Israel on May 14,
a little over a week into the offensive.
The attack came in for worldwide condemnation, and the International Court of Justice issued new provisional measures
ordering Israel to immediately end military operations in Rafah"
May 26, Israeli airstrikes slammed into the tent camp in Tal al-Sultan.
The bombs used in the Israeli attack were U.S.-made,
according to investigations by multiple news outlets.
“I screamed as I never did before,” Samour told The Intercept. “The first thing I felt was the shock of the explosion, as if the ground was shaking beneath us.
I rushed to my children and hugged them close, fearing that the missile would fall on our heads. I found safety in dying together. It was raining shrapnel.”
Samour heard the screams of children and women around her as tents were set ablaze.
“The flames were surrounding us, it was beyond my worst nightmares,” she said, describing her desperate attempts to protect her children.
“I was devastated that
I could not bring
my kids back inside my belly.”

it's flag day
Your tribe is flaunting football and golf
Funny the way to sell cola and pig weenies on enriched buns
Is to wrap it in myopia
I can't see past the pilgrims
Eating dogs and digging up graves to make soup in plymouth
Faced with winter they didn't have any flag to wrap up in
Shit out of luck
Who stepped up
No need to see past
Them them is US
Past is prologue unfurling wind
A slack flag in front of SCOTUS mansion
Crow will blow it frenzied
Up to Montana Wyoming Colorado for a salmon hunt
They're too old for hookers
Who knows maybe not
What a view the robes digest from a self inclining my pillow gut massage
The mountains mining auto signed
Their glaciers melt uranium straight past spawning christian academies
God bless ole gory sic glory
Salute the potluck chew the fat
Harlan Just one of many
