"We found five Israeli units responsible for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights. All of these were incidents much before October 7 and none took place in Gaza," Patel said during a press briefing. Four of the identified units had successfully addressed and remedied the violations, Patel added.Earlier this week, the Axios news website reported that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken would announce sanctions against Israel's Netzah Yehuda battalion within days. The sanctions would be related to incidents in the West Bank prior to Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel. Netzah Yehuda is reportedly made up of young, radical Jewish settlers who have not been accepted into other IDF units.Later, however, ABC News reported that the Biden administration has decided against cutting off military aid for three military battalions with the Israel Defense Forces, despite determining that they committed "gross human rights violations" against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.
