Before and after the attack.
Pictures show before and after the attack on the tent camp
Satellite images from Maxar Technologies show the devastation following Israel's attack on a refugee tent camp in northwestern Rafah late Sunday.
At least 45 people are reported to have been killed and 200 injured, including women and children, and the attack has been met with strong international condemnation.
Four weapons experts tell the Washington Post that American-made precision bombs appear to have been used in the attack, something that an investigation by CNN also pointed out.

Journalist in Rafah testifies to the horrors: "A man held a girl's brain in his hand"
Palestinian journalist Alem Sadeq traveled to Rafah from nearby Khan Yunis early Monday and documented the devastation following the Israeli attack. His pictures from the tent camp have been verified by several international media and have linked ammunition to the US.
Sadeq says the smell of death was everywhere and testifies to horrific scenes: charred bodies and a man searching for his cousin's head. He held "a girl's brain in one hand and a bag full of body parts in the other," writes the newspaper.
After the attack, a number of images have been spread on social media that are not usually published by traditional media. CNN describes a particularly shared clip of a man holding up a headless toddler.
UNRWA Director General Philippe Lazzarini has said that the images show how Rafah has become "hell on earth".
Israel has claimed that the attack targeted a Hamas position barely 200 meters away and that a secret weapons cache may have ignited and caused the fire.

Expert: Israel could have used less weapons
Israel has access to and could have used less powerful weapons to attack the two Hamas terrorists said to have been the target of the attack that killed at least 45 civilians in Rafah on Sunday. That's what experts say according to AP.
- So it doesn't really work if they're trying to minimize the deaths, says Trevor Ball, a former technician specializing in explosive weapons in the United States Army.
He highlights, among other things, that Israel has previously used drone-borne weapons with much less risk of proliferation and secondary explosions to knock out individuals or smaller groups.
The Israeli military has previously stated that the fire that started in a tent camp as a result of the attack was a "tragic mistake", and that it may have been caused by the ignition of weapons hidden by Hamas.
