The United States has determined that five Israeli military units in the West Bank carried out an attack on the Hamas compound and committed a serious human rights violation against the Palestinians, the State Department announced on Monday.
Israel will take measures for four or five units, Vedantas Patel, deputy press representative of the US State Department, told reporters, while talks with the Israeli government are underway regarding the fifth unit.
After a careful process, we determined that five Israeli units are responsible for individual violations of human rights, said V. Patelis.
He added that all this happened on October 7. Hamas attacks outside of Gaza Strip.
V. Patel refuses to name these units or to say what measures the Israeli government will take against them.
media reports indicate that the Netzah Yehuda battalion, composed mainly of ultra-Orthodox Jews, is accused of the attacks.
US law prohibits the government from funding or arming foreign security forces where there is a credible pretext of violating human rights.
The US provides military aid to its allies around the world, including Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, has reacted angrily to recent reports that the US may impose sanctions on a unit of the Israeli military for alleged human rights violations, saying the military should not be punished when it is at war.
