American weapons are used in numerous war zones, for combat against military forces. In the past two weeks alone, the US has reported selling billions of dollars’ worth of new weapons to Israel and Saudi Arabia. It has also sent arms to Ukraine. In some cases, however, the weapons harm and even kill civilians. The World reports on concerns about how these weapons are used.
