The secretary of state expressed frustration following deadly attacks across Lebanon that caused various electronic devices, like pagers, to explode.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the killing as unprovoked and unjustified while speaking Tuesday at a news conference in London.
The Israeli military says it has recovered the bodies of six hostages taken in Hamas Oct. 7 attack that started the Gaza war.
The Secretary of State said mediators would keep trying to close an elusive U.S.-backed deal that can bring an end to Israel's military offensive in Gaza.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The dramatic rescue operation of four Israeli hostages resulted in the deaths of a large number of Palestinian civilians and may complicate the cease-fire push.
We know this is a challenging time, the U.S. Secretary of State said.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has delivered some of the Biden administrations strongest public criticism yet of Israels conduct of the war in Gaza.
The secretary of state's comments come after President Joe Biden demanded Israel allow a larger, sustained flow of humanitarian assistance for Palestinians.
The reported findings would legally require the White House to suspend military assistance to Israel, whose offensive in Gaza nears seven months.
A special State Department panel told Blinken that the U.S. should restrict arms sales to Israeli military units that have been credibly accused of human rights abuses. He has not taken any action.
