A United Nations report accuses Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity by targeting healthcare facilities and imposing collective punishment on Palestinians in Gaza following Hamas attacks on Israel. Recent Israeli airstrikes have resulted in significant casualties, including a strike on a school in Gaza that killed at least 28 people, with Israel claiming it targeted a Hamas command center. Gaza's health ministry reports over 42,000 Palestinian deaths since the conflict began a year ago, although independent verification of these figures is challenging. The ongoing conflict has seen Israel expand military operations into Lebanon and escalate strikes on Gaza, while humanitarian efforts face severe challenges. The UN and various international bodies have criticized Israel's actions, citing violations of international law and the severe humanitarian impact on civilians, particularly children. Israel's military operations continue amid international scrutiny and calls for accountability.
