This is the best summary I could come up with:

He spoke hours after Israeli forces reached the centre of the city and reportedly seized a strategically important hill overlooking the nearby border with Egypt.Mr Kirby was also responding to questions about an Israeli air strike and a resulting fire on Sunday that killed at least 45 Palestinians at a tented camp for displaced people.Israel says it believes the fire could have been caused by the explosion of weapons stored by Hamas.

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.

“We still don’t believe a major ground operation is warranted… and we haven’t seen that at this point,” he said.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described Sunday’s strike as a “tragic mishap”, while vowing to continue the Rafah operation.But the Israeli military said it was investigating the possibility that the fire was caused by the explosion of weapons stored by Hamas in the vicinity of the strike, which had targeted and killed two senior Hamas officials.US President Joe Biden has made it clear that a full-scale Israeli offensive in Rafah would be crossing a red line, and said earlier this month that some arms supplies to Israel would be halted in the event of a major ground operation in the city.The Israeli military said on Tuesday that its troops were continuing activities against “terror targets” in Rafah, three weeks after it launched the ground operation there.Witnesses said Israeli tanks were stationed at al-Awda roundabout, which is considered a key landmark.Western areas of the city came under intense bombardment overnight on Monday into Tuesday, residents said.The Israeli military has denied reports on Tuesday that its tank shells hit another tent camp in al-Mawasi, on the coast west of Rafah, which local officials said had killed at least 21 people.Videos of the incident posted to social media and analysed by BBC Verify showed multiple people with serious injuries.There was no clear sign of a blast zone or crater, making it impossible to ascertain the cause of the incident.

The location - verified through reference to surrounding buildings - is between Rafah and al-Mawasi, and lies south of the Israeli military’s designated humanitarian zone.

Israel has insisted that victory in its seven-month war with Hamas in Gaza is impossible without taking Rafah and rejected warnings that it could have catastrophic humanitarian consequences.The UN says around a million people have now fled the fighting in Rafah, but several hundred thousand more could still be sheltering there.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began what they called “targeted” ground operations against Hamas fighters and infrastructure in the east of Rafah on 6 May.Since then, tanks and troops have gradually pushed into built-up eastern and central areas while also moving northwards along the 13km (8-mile) border with Egypt.Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza to destroy Hamas in response to the group’s cross-border attack on southern Israel on 7 October, during which about 1,200 people were killed and 252 others were taken hostage.At least 36,090 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Well would you look at that. ‘Hamas did it’.

Its just blatant at this point and they don’t care.

Kirby was earlier seen telling Netanyahu: “I’m gonna count to 3, young man! 1… 2… 2.5… 2.75… 2.8…”

Just a bit of light invasion.

We are funding a genocide, plain and simple. I don’t care how the media of the government spin it, our tax money is used to kill innocent civilians

Maybe call it special military operation instead of an invasion?

Uh so I suppose the Israel is tragically accidenting its way through Rafah then?

The USA is probably wanting Israel to see the tragic accident campaign in Gaza to completion.

Way to redraw your red line, Biden. Absolute fucking coward.

For anyone that had any hope left for Genocide Joe; maybe it’s time to admit that this fascist maniac is never going to change course
