U.S. Decides Not to Sanction IDF Unit over Allegations of Rights Abuses
(AP) Ellen Knickmeyer - The State Department said Friday it has opted against blocking aid to an Israeli military unit over alleged rights abuses, believed to be the Netzah Yehuda battalion. The State Department said it had received additional information from Israel about its handling of the case. "After thoroughly reviewing that information, we have determined that violations by this unit have also been effectively remediated....This unit can continue receiving security assistance," the State Department said.
