UN Inquiry Accuses Israel of Deliberately Targeting Children in Gaza
A UN commission of inquiry says about a third of Gaza's dead were children and calls their targeting genocide and crimes against humanity. Israel calls the report a sham.
Still open after this report
- No public judicial ruling has tested the commission’s genocide and crimes-against-humanity conclusions.
- The full evidentiary basis for individual incidents remains to be examined outside the commission’s summary findings.
