American fingerprints all over Rafah camp horror strike — CNN

Expert analysis of video footage suggests the deadly IDF airstrike on the Rafah tented refugee camp that killed at least 45 people was conducted with US weapons - despite President Biden insisting he wouldn’t allow their use in a Rafah offensive.

The tail of a Boeing-produced GBU-39 small-diameter bomb (SDB) - supposedly designed for high-precision attacks - is visible from footage reviewed by four explosive weapons experts for CNN.

🇺🇦🇬🇧 Ukraine has already carried out strikes using British Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory with London's approval, Yuri Sak, an advisor to the head of the Ministry of Strategic Industries, told Bloomberg.

"There has already been a precedent. Britain had previously allowed Ukraine to use their long-range Storm Shadow missiles, and we used them successfully," Sak said.

🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 EU to decide on western weapons usage on Russia.

-Western weapons like Vampire MLRS and drones are used on Russian territory already. That’s not the problem.

➡️ The “untold” problem is, that to use storm shadows, ATACMS and such on Russian territory the western nations have to participate.

The German leaked Air Force call explained, that the Brits, transport, load onto planes, provide targeting data and program the Storm Shadows. The Ukrainians barely do anything.

The Russians obviously know and tolerate this. But, now it will be different.

The risk is that Russia will return in kind, and for example will help the Syrians or Yemen strike US bases, or in the worst case target the control and command of western missiles inside NATO countries.

🗣 Borrell says that the EU defense ministers will discuss today the possibility of granting Ukraine permission to strike with Western weapons the territory of the Russian Federation and the associated “risks of escalation” - head of European diplomacy Borrell.

Ukrainian Minister Umerov and NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg, who previously called for allowing such strikes, will also take part in the meeting.

Ukraine used Western weapons ‘on several occasions’ to strike Russia – report

Kiev failed to notify Berlin of its use of a German-supplied Patriot air defense system "at least once to take action" against Russian targets, according to the German newspaper Bild.

The strike was reportedly followed by "angry calls from Berlin and Washington and the threat to stop" supplying Kiev with anti-aircraft missiles if such an incident happened again.

The AFP news agency, meanwhile, quoted unnamed sources as saying that the Kiev regime had used Western weapons "on several occasions" to launch strikes against Russian territory, most recently against the southern city of Krasnodar.

The sources did not specify what objects had been targeted. The Russian Defense Ministry had earlier said that the Ukrainian armed forces were constantly trying to attack the territory of the Russian Krasnodar region using aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters Tuesday that some NATO members, especially smaller ones, "should know what they are playing with" when they suggest allowing Kiev to launch strikes on Russian territory. He added that Moscow was keeping a close eye on such statements.
