US State Department: We have not seen major Israeli operation in Rafah

US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Thursday that the United States has not yet seen Israel launch a major military operation in the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip.

He added in a briefing to reporters that Israeli military operations in Rafah are not "of the size or scope" of operations conducted elsewhere in Gaza.

He continued, "It is a more limited operation."
