Human Rights Watch senior researcher Richard Weir states that 'the use of these weapons in densely populated areas, like this one, places civilians and civilian objects in the immediate area at grave risk of immediate and lasting harm.' This highlights the danger posed to civilians from aerial attacks utilizing U.S.-made munitions in urban environments, underscoring the urgent need for stricter regulations and oversight on arms sales to conflict zones.
The Guardian's analysis reveals that a bomb used in the airstrike, which resulted in 22 deaths and over 115 injuries, was a U.S.-supplied JDAM. The investigation found direct evidence linking U.S.-manufactured munitions to civilian casualties, raising questions about the morality and legality of arms transfers in ongoing conflicts.
