US Wants More Detail on Israel’s Rafah Attack Plan, General Says

US military officials and their Israeli counterparts have discussed only “broad concepts” about how to limit harm to civilians during a planned operation in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah, according to the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.

A planned visit to Washington by Israeli officials in coming days will help the Americans “to understand their concept” of the military operation and offer “alternative opportunities” to minimize deaths among the more than one million civilians sheltering in Rafah, General Charles Brown told reporters Thursday at a luncheon briefing.
