Lebanese Americans Sue US Over Alleged Role in Israel's Rights Abuses During 2006 War

Dozens of Lebanese Americans have filed a class action civil lawsuit against the US government and several defence contractors, saying their role in Israel's war in Lebanon is a violation of a US law. The lawsuit claims that the US provided military aid and logistical support to Israel, which led to widespread human rights abuses during the 2006 conflict. The plaintiffs argue that this assistance was in contravention of the US War Crimes Act, which prohibits providing material support to parties engaged in war crimes.
