Israeli military says it is unaware of US sanctions against one of its battalions

The Israeli military said on Sunday it was unaware of any U.S. sanctions against one of its combat battalions, after media reported that Washington was planning such a step against the unit for alleged rights violations.

The military said that its "Netzah Yehuda" battalion is an active combat unit that operates according to the principles of international law.

"Following publications about sanctions against the battalion, the IDF is not aware of the issue. If a decision is made on the matter it will be reviewed. The IDF works and will continue to work to investigate any unusual event in a practical manner and according to law," the military said.
