Israel may have breached laws with American weapons: US

The US says Israel may have used American-supplied weapons in breach of international humanitarian law in some instances during the war in Gaza, the BBC reported.

It is “reasonable to assess” that those arms have been used in ways “inconsistent” with Israel's obligations, says the state department. But it added that the US did not have complete information in its assessment and that shipments could continue. The report was submitted to Congress on Friday after a delay.

The White House-ordered review looked into how the country, along with six others engaged in conflict, has used US-supplied arms since the start of last year. While the report was a clear rebuke of some Israeli operations in Gaza, it stopped short of definitively saying that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) campaign had breached international law.
