		From May 18-24, the IDF conducted a major assault called “Operation Rainbow” that penetrated deep into two areas of Rafah — Tel al-Sultan in the northwest and the Brazil and Salam neighborhoods in the east — reportedly leaving thirty-two Palestinian civilians dead, including ten people under age eighteen, as well as twelve armed men.
		Both sides made tactical choices to maximize their respective advantages: the IDF limited their operations mostly to Brazil and Tel al-Sultan, where they were not expected and Palestinian armed groups laid ambushes in the densely populated heart of the original camp, where they would be more likely to engage the IDF at close quarters.
