Ammunition remnants found at the site indicated that at least one of them was a 250 kg bomb that had been converted into a guided bomb with an American kit.
According to US law, if a country uses weapons provided by that country in a war crime, military aid to it must be suspended. Military aid to Israel has continued unabated despite numerous evidences of Israel’s use of American ammunition to commit war crimes.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch acknowledged today that the said airstrike was most likely a deliberate attack on civilians and a clear war crime.
The organization also asked Washington to stop arms exports to Israel “because of the Israeli army’s frequent and illegal attacks on civilians, which could make American officials complicit in war crimes.”
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed six journalists in Lebanon and at least 122 journalists in Gaza and the West Bank, making this period the deadliest period for journalists in the last four decades.
