1/ IDF strike at Tal-El-Sultan fatalities stands on ~35 (CNN reports)
I want to share my observations about this night and how this event was covered by palestinians.
I will use the internal Hamza sub-channel, which focuses on field reports only ⬇️
t.me/hamz0831/125855
2/ The first report about the strike occurred at 20:47.
You can click the link at the first post and follow the events at Gaza Strip that night by yourself.
The channel is focused only on field reports and covers the whole Gaza Strip events. ⬇️
3/ For the first 30 min, there reports about injured which arrived to Emirati Hospital.
30 min after, first report appeared about martyrs. On the image, 2 bodies.
Almost 1 hour after the strike, there is a first video from Emirati Hospital of injured palestinians.
4/One hour after the strike, there a photo of 3 bodies.
Palestinians uncover the face of the child, while other bodies remain hidden.
At 10PM, two footages:

22:41 another strike at Rafah
7/ At the same time (21:50-22:30), IDF conducted a strike at Nuseirat at Al-Ghussein family house.
A lot of images are posted and should not be confused with Rafah events.
Omar Al Ghussein and his 5 members of family names posted.
Later, 23:46, it rose to 9 with no details.⬇️
8/ 22:43-22:45. Two graphic footages from Tal El Sultan. One child and one adult.
After 1.5h (00:19) additional graphic footage of the child with heavy head damage.
At 02:03, the last footage from strike site with one recovered adult body⬇️
9/ 23:11 - 23:30
Overall, 7 killed at Rafah in another airstrikes, not related to the Rafah IDP camp event.
23:44 2 Men killed at Wadi Gaza area, central Strip.
10/

11/
03:10
4 bodies at Gaza City. At least 1 men adult. Although Batran family
Since this moment till the morning, palestinians posted several pictures of killed children in previous attacks at Central and North gaza.
Additional fatalities in other strikes.
⬇️
12/
After 12 hours, there is a video of body bags at Rafah.
In the video, there are ~12 body bags.
Remind you that there were also other fatalities at Rafah that night.
Officials claim 100 dead+injured and incapable to state number of killed.
Video of the strike area posted⬇️
13/
I'm monitoring gaza internal channels since the beginning.
This event doesn't look like a massacre of 45-50 civilians.
IMHO, the number of fatalities is lower.
More than that, I think there were more fatalities in other areas of Strip this night than in IDP camp.⬇️
14/
In addition, except for 4 names, there are no names and details of the killed palestinians at this event. Even after 14 hours. Which is strange in comparison to other Gaza Strip bombing events.⬇️
15/
Summary:
The number of killed likely to be lower than claimed.
There are several factors that amplify this event:
1. Strike at IDP tent camp area.
2. Several graphic footages of killed children.
3. Focus (by the palestinian media) on children's fatalities' footages only.
