US tracking nearly 500 incidents of civilian harm involving US weapons in Gaza, sends another warning letter

Another Harris-Biden knife in the Israel back. How many involve the human shields Hamas is famous for? [IsraelTimes] US State Department officials have identified nearly 500 potential incidents of civilian harm during Israel’s military operations in Gaza involving US-furnished weapons, but have not taken further action on any of them, according to three sources, including a US official familiar with the matter.
The Washington Post reports that the reports have come from various US government agencies, aid organizations, nonprofits, media reports and other eyewitnesses, the Post says.
While State Department guidance directs US officials to complete investigations and recommend a response to such claims within two months, no single case has gotten this far in the process, according to the report.
Some of the cases likely amount to violations of US and international law, sources familiar with the matter tell The Post.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken submitted a report to Congress earlier this year concluding that it is reasonable to assess that US weapons have been used by Israel in ways that are inconsistent with US law. However, he also said Israel’s assurances to the contrary are “credible and reliable” and that the US could not at the time provide a conclusive determination.
Then why talk about it?
US says Israeli steps to address humanitarian crisis in Gaza minor and insufficient
[IsraelTimes] Since the US sent a letter to Israel warning that continued security assistance was at risk if it doesn’t take significant steps to improve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the measures Jerusalem has taken have been minor and insufficient, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says.
While there has been some improvement in the number of delivery routes to aid, the uptick has been minor and the humanitarian “situation still remains at a level that we don’t find acceptable,” Miller says during a press briefing.
He says there continue to be breakdowns in communications between the IDF and aid agencies and issues in which approvals aren’t granted by the IDF for aid workers to operate throughout Gaza, or issues where authorizations are given but they aren’t transmitted to officers on the ground. There are also still Palestinian armed gangs that have been looting some of the aid coming into Gaza, Miller says.
