 Did 'Israel' cross Biden's red line in Rafah? White House unsure yet

Earlier today, two US officials said as quoted by Axios that the Biden administration is still assessing whether the blatant murdering of displaced people in makeshift camps is a violation of Biden's "red line". Nearly two days have passed since the attack occurred on Sunday, showing clearly Biden's intent to draw a line in the sand to the Israeli attack on Rafah.

It is important to note that the Biden administration conducts its own investigations of such incidents, hundreds of which have occurred in the Gaza Strip over the past eight months, yet has failed to condemn any of them as war crimes or genocidal actions. 

For some, the Israeli attack on the campsite in Rafah did not only test Biden's "red line" but also came as a direct response to the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) order demanding "Israel" halt its military operation in Rafah. 

Israeli occupation forces said that the incident is being investigated, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that firing multiple "a tragic mistake."

A US official said that the White House is still in the process of determining what exactly happened in order to decide if the blatant crime warrants US action. If it does, one must ask why other well-documented crimes condemned by international organizations do not warrant US action. 

Despite what Israeli and US officials are leading the public to believe, the incident is not an isolated case, in fact following Sunday night, the Israeli regime intensified its bombing of Rafah, in what has been described as the most intense bombardment campaign on the city.

On its part, the Political Bureau of Ansar Allah strongly condemned in a statement on Monday the "horrific Israeli massacre against the displaced people northwest of Rafah."

In their statement, Ansar Allah affirmed that "the Zionist holocaust against the displaced in Gaza reflects the level of the Israeli enemy's brutality, criminality, and atrocity," adding that they "held the United States fully responsible for the Rafah massacre and other massacres, as it is the main supporter of the enemy entity."

In a related development, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah condemned Tuesday the Rafah massacre, stating that it stripped away the false facade that had been used to present the Israeli occupation as a "civilized" entity.

Regarding the United States,  Nasrallah asserted that its hypocrisy concerning Rafah "played a significant role in recent weeks," noting that "Israel" defies the will of the international community and the International Court of Justice, which ordered a halt to the attack on Rafah.

Rafah massacre: Many were burned alive

On Sunday evening, the Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre against dozens of forcibly displaced persons by bombing their tents set up in UNRWA warehouses in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, an alleged safe zone.

The Government Media Office reported that the Israeli occupation committed a horrific massacre through the concentrated and deliberate bombing of a center for the forcibly displaced, established in UNRWA barracks in the northwest of Rafah Governorate. The center was bombed with more than seven missiles and large bombs, each weighing more than 2000 pounds of explosives.

According to the Government Media Office, this violent bombing led to the martyrdom of dozens and caused numerous injuries, some of which are very serious, indicating a confirmed rise in the number of martyrs from this massacre.

In turn, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that there were a large number of martyrs and injured due to the occupation's airstrike on the displaced persons' camp in Rafah, noting that the search for missing persons at the site remains ongoing.

Palestinian media also reported that "a large number of martyrs and injured are still in the camp, while ambulance and civil defense teams are struggling to reach them," adding that "the fires are still burning in the camp due to the bombing."

The Gaza Civil Defense announced that it had transported at least 50 people, including martyrs and injured, as a result of the occupation's bombing of the displaced persons' camp in Rafah, revealing that the targeted area includes 100,000 displaced persons.
