The US government says Israel may have breached humanitarian law in Gaza using American weapons.
In a delayed report, the state department says it is "reasonable to assess" that US-supplied arms have been used in ways "inconsistent" with Israel's obligations.
But it says Israel has had to confront an "extraordinary military challenge" fighting Hamas in Gaza.
The report, ordered by the White House, was submitted to Congress on Friday.
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.
And it said assurances it had received from Israel about adhering to the legal use of US weapons were "credible and reliable", and so weapons shipments could continue.
The document also noted that the US government does not have "complete information" in its assessment and that, because Hamas "uses civilian infrastructure for military purposes and civilians as human shields", it was often "difficult to determine facts on the ground in an active war zone" of what are legitimate targets.

Didn’t Biden breach international law when he set up the murder of 13 U.S. Marines, left hundreds, if not thousands of American citizens stranded, and left billions of dollars in military weaponry to the terrorist Taliban in Afghanistan? Asking for a friend.
Since the report did NOT say Israel violated Intl humanitarian laws— then WHY does the BBC Headline says that it DID say that?
The BBC is a huge lying propaganda wing of the islamofascist now running the UK. Islamofascists have taken over.
Biden sold out Israel for Michigan’s 15 Electoral Votes.
But it’s okay for the Taliban to use US arms in Afghanistan and selling them as well.
I’m sure 10x more people have died in the Ukraine and Biden has no problem sending endless money there. I guess thats less important since its only white people dying.
Valjar? Hussein?
There are no innocents in Gsza
“Israel may have breached humanitarian law in Gaza using American weapons”
I wonder what humanitarian law says about people who invade a land and do unspeakable things to the innocent people living there.
And Hamas breached international law ny attacking civilians and using civilians ability shields.
Like the cluster bombs Biden sent to Ukraine?
I wonder if anybody has looked into whether Hamas leaders and participants violated any international laws when they raided Israel and killed, captured, tortured, and took hostages back on October 7.
Since when did breaking laws mean anything to the out of control Biden Administration? The group controlling Biden has accelerated their daily attacks on America. Cloward-Piven on steriods.
