New Analysis Shows Weapons Used on Rafah Were Made in the US | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

New analysis from CNN shows the weapons used in the strike on Rafah this Sunday were made in the United States. At least 45 people were killed and another 200 were injured when a GBU-39 small diameter bomb accidentally struck a displacement camp in Rafah. Israel claims the strike was intended for senior Hamas commanders and contends the strike alone could not have caused the magnitude of the deadly blaze. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "tragic mishap". A former British artillery officer and UN weapons inspector and investigator for Amnesty International, Chris Cobb-Smith, joins to share whether the weapons used in that strike were US made and walks us through how that identification process is done. IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari says the weapons couldn't have caused the fire. Cobb-Smith tells us whether there is an alternative explanation to how the tragedy unfolded. He discusses whether we know these weapons are part of the new shipment to Israel or part of an old stockpile. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
