UN commission of inquiry accuses Israel of deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza, amounting to genocide.

A UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry released a report accusing Israeli authorities and security forces of deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The commission stated that Israel's strategy aims to destroy the future of Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children, and that killings have continued even after the October 2025 ceasefire. Israel's foreign ministry rejected the report as a "libellous sham" and "propaganda piece."
