US has not seen Israel military action in Rafah that warrants denial of military aid

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said during a news briefing that Washington hasn't seen anything in Israel's military attacks in Rafah since Sunday that would prompt a withdrawal of US military assistance.

The attack, which killed at least 45 Palestinians, drew global outrage and calls for Israel to stop its bombardment of the southern city in Gaza.

A National Security Council spokesperson, however, responded to the strike in a comment to Reuters by saying that Israel has a right to go after Hamas.
