Between 135 and 200 civilians were killed in Rafah, the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip in an intensive use of firepower by Israel, which lasted from August 1 to 4, 2014, according to Amnesty International report dubbed 'Black Friday: Carnage in Rafah'.

"There is overwhelming evidence that Israeli forces committed disproportionate, or otherwise indiscriminate, attacks which killed scores of civilians in their homes, on the streets and in vehicles and injured many more," says the Amnesty, which together with Forensic Architecture, a research team from Goldsmiths, University of London have presented a detailed reconstruction of the events in the city.
