The US does not believe Israel has launched a full-scale invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza, White House spokesman John Kirby has said.
. . .
Mr Kirby told journalists that images from Sunday’s strike, which killed mostly women, children and elderly people, were “heartbreaking” and “horrific”.
“There should be no innocent life lost here as a result of this conflict,” he added.
But he acknowledged that Israel was investigating the incident and said he had “no policy changes to speak to” following the recent events in Rafah.
And with the land they just discovered, they’d expand their settlements.
