A newly released United Nations commission report identifies specific Israeli army units and precise sniper and quadcopter drone strikes that the commission says killed children and that continued after the October ceasefire.The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory calculates that about 30 percent of Palestinian fatalities from October 2023 to October 2025 were children, more than 20,000, and documents killings near Israeli-controlled zones and precision targeting after evacuations.The commission, led by Srinivasan Muralidhar, urges states to consider arresting officials at the International Criminal Court, suspending arms transfers and imposing sanctions, and details a blockade of humanitarian aid and attacks on hospitals and clinics.Israel rejects the findings as unverified and politically biased, blames
Hamas for using civilians as shields, and
Gaza's Health Ministry reports more than 73,000 Palestinian deaths since the fighting began, heightening international scrutiny.
