At least 26 Palestinians were killed, including two children, and more than 50 people were injured on the second day of a large-scale Israeli operation in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, Wednesday, May 19, 2004. Twenty two were killed when Israeli occupation forces raided a demonstration where thousands were protesting a massive operation in the refugee camp. It is one of the largest and bloodiest operations in Gaza since Israel occupied it in 1967. Amnesty International accused the Jewish state of war crimes over house demolitions. (Watch Video)
