However, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) diminished those claims. Officials said Hamas militants were killed and their submarine was destroyed in the attack.<\/p>\n<p>The IDF also noted, Hamas modifies hobbyist RC submarines to carry explosive payloads up to 60 pounds. Damage from an explosion of that size is minimal against an Israel battleship, but it gives Hamas a much needed \u201cvictory photo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, progressive U.S. lawmakers are taking aim at Israel over the ongoing conflict with Hamas militants in Gaza.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for U.S. aid to support human rights violations.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BernieSanders\/status\/1393972598237696007?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a tweet Sunday, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (D) said the U.S. must take a hard look at the $4 billion in military aide it provides every year to Israel. He also suggested the Jewish State may be committing human rights violations in it\u2019s handling of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as the group of liberal lawmakers known as \u201cthe Squad\u201d has been pro-Palestine as well as establishment Democrats claiming to back Israel.
