The report also did not find that Israel had intentionally obstructed humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Such a finding would have triggered a U.S. law barring military aid to countries that block such assistance.
They argue that Israel has indiscriminately killed civilians with American arms and intentionally hindered U.S.-supplied humanitarian aid.
Either would violate U.S. laws governing arms transfers to foreign militaries, as well as international humanitarian law, which is largely based on the Geneva Conventions.
The United States provides Israel with $3.8 billion in annual military aid, and Congress last month approved an additional $14 billion in emergency funding.
