More than 700 days after Hamas’s deadly attacks on Israel, a UN Human Rights Council inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The report cites mass killings, destruction of homes and hospitals, and a blockade of essential supplies. It accuses top Israeli leaders of inciting violence and highlights attacks on children, hospitals, and refugee camps. Israel rejects the findings as "fake" and "scandalous."
