US believes Rafah strikes not start of major operation — official

The United States is concerned about Israel’s latest strikes against the southern Gaza city of Rafah but does not believe they represent a major military operation, a US official says.

The official says Washington is focused on heading off a major military operation into densely populated areas of Rafah and that it does not appear the Israelis are doing that.
