The Biden administration is accusing at least five Israel Defense Force (IDF) units of “gross violations of human rights” before Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks, the State Department has announced.

In an April 29 press briefing, the State Department’s principal deputy spokesman, Vedant Patel, revealed that all the alleged violations occurred on the West Bank and predate the current war being fought between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip.
