Dozens of Lebanese Americans have filed a class action civil lawsuit against the US government and several defence contractors, saying their role in Israel’s war in Lebanon is a violation of a US law that bars assistance to foreign governments known to be committing human rights abuses. The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday in the US District Court in Michigan, names Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Caterpillar as defendants. The plaintiffs are the Michigan-based Arab American Civil Rights League group and 16 individuals, all US citizens with property in Lebanon that has been impacted by what they claim is indiscriminate use of force by Israel during the war. Plaintiffs include Nasser Beydoun, a prominent Michigan businessman and politician who alleges in the lawsuit that Israeli forces destroyed his family home in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, “without any military necessity or justification”.
