An Israeli battalion recruited from ultra-Orthodox men will be subject to US sanctions for violence against Palestinian civilians, Axios has found out. One of the dead was a 78-year-old American citizen who died during detention.
The United States will impose sanctions on a unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for the first time, Secretary of State Antony Blinken will announce this in the coming days, Axios writes, citing three sources.
The Netzach Yehuda battalion will be included in the restrictive lists for human rights violations in the West Bank, a Palestinian territory occupied by the Israeli army. The reason was incidents that occurred before the attack by Palestinians on Israel. Several other army and police units were also investigated; they won't be sanctioned because the problems have been fixed, one source said.
