US demands answers from Israel over killing of American citizen.

The US will address the death of American citizen Omar Assad, who was killed by Israeli forces last year, "directly" with Israel after the country's military announced that it will not pursue criminal charges in the case. The US Department of State said it was looking into the Israeli findings and expected "full accountability" in the case. Advocacy groups are calling for the application of the Leahy Law, which bans American aid to foreign forces engaged in gross violations of human rights, to Israel's Netzah Yehuda unit that was involved in the killing of Assad.
