Senate progressives demand Biden reduce Gaza civilian deaths caused by US weapons


A group of progressive Senate Democrats led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are pressing President Biden and his administration to step up oversight of the use of U.S. military weapons by the Israeli military in Gaza to reduce the civilian death toll.  

In a letter to President Biden on Tuesday, the senators raised alarm over Israeli forces firing 155-millimeter artillery shells — unguided explosive weapons that have a kill radius of between 100 and 300 meters — close to densely populated civilian areas.
