Israel's military massed troops on the border with Gaza as airstrikes pummeled the Palestinian enclave in the wake of Saturday's attack by Hamas.
The U.S. hasn't placed conditions on Israel's use of American weaponry in the fight against Gaza, trusting Israeli forces to do what they can to avoid civilian casualties, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said. The U.S.
is a top supplier of military hardware to Israel and has sent munitions and other weaponry into the country since the incursion by Hamas on Saturday. 'This is a professional military led by professional leadership and we would hope and expect that they do the right things in the prosecution of their campaign,' Austin said in Brussels. 'We will leave it to them to define what their operations are going to look like, but we have no reason to believe they would do anything differently.
