A U.S. intelligence report from last year revealed that Israeli military lawyers had warned there was enough evidence to raise allegations of war crimes during Israel’s Gaza operations, which heavily relied on U.S. weaponry. Former officials described the report as one of the most alarming presented to top U.S. policymakers, showing internal doubts within the Israeli military about the legality of their actions, contrasting with public government statements. Rising civilian deaths prompted concerns that Israel could be violating international human rights and war laws, though the report did not cite specific incidents. Despite this, the Biden administration concluded there was no proof that Israel intentionally targeted civilians, allowing arms and intelligence cooperation to continue. The situation has drawn international scrutiny, including ICC and ICJ investigations, while Israel maintains its operations targeted Hamas, not Gaza’s general population.
