A United Nations commission of inquiry has found Israeli security forces are committing the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip by deliberately targeting Palestinian children with deadly violence. The report by the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory found Israeli attacks since October 2023 have resulted in unprecedented death, injury and trauma, with more than 20,000 children killed and another 44,000 wounded. The violence continued even after Israel agreed to a ceasefire last October. The report also found Israeli forces are carrying out war crimes in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, with a sharp rise in violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers against Palestinian children. And the report found Israeli security forces have used sexual violence against children, who’ve been arrested and subjected to torture and other severe forms of mistreatment in Israeli prisons.
