A report from the U.S. State Department sent to Congress Friday questioned how effective the Israeli military is being at mitigating civilian casualties in Gaza.
The U.S. State Department on Friday criticized Israel’s use of U.S-supplied arms in a way that may be 'inconsistent' in 'mitigating civilian harm' in the war in Gaza. A report obtained by Fox News Digital, which was sent to Congress on Friday, admitted that 'Israel has had to confront an extraordinary military challenge: Hamas has embedded itself deliberately within and underneath the civilian population to use civilians as human shields.
Israeli officials have said the country is complying with international law 'and have identified a number of processes for ensuring compliance that are embedded at all levels of their military decision-making,' the report said, including giving advanced warnings, using specific weapons and avoiding places like schools, hospitals and places of worship.
