Israel has been pounding the Gaza Strip since October 7, killing over 28,000 in its air and ground offensive following a surprise Hamas attack that killed around 1,200 in the Jewish state.
Afghanistan's Foreign Ministry lashed out at Israel after the Jewish state's overnight airstrikes left over a hundred dead in Rafah city in the Gaza Strip on Monday.
According to the Red Crescent Society of Palestine, dozens of children and women are among the dead.
Israel's airstrikes on Rafah are significant, considering nearly 1.5 million of Gaza's 2.3 million people moved to that area adjoining Egypt following a campaign of intense bombardment in the north and the south of the besieged enclave.

"After four months of barbaric attacks on the north and south of the Palestinian Gaza Strip, yesterday, the Zionist invaders started barbaric attacks on the town of Rafah, where about one and a half million Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, have taken refuge from the fear of bombing and fighting," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"The continuation of genocide in Gaza has brought serious questions to the ruling international order and its values, and this genocide of the century will further destroy the weak credibility of international organizations and humanitarian conventions," the foreign ministry added.
Tel Aviv has continued with its military campaign in the Gaza Strip despite repeated calls to halt it amid a rising death count of Palestinian civilians in the conflict.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shunned international pressure, underlining that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will not pull out of the Gaza Strip before destroying Hamas' military and political capabilities.
