Israel committed atrocity crimes in Gaza, UN report says

GENEVA: Israeli forces committed serious violations of ​international humanitarian law in Gaza and carried out atrocity crimes, a UN report published on Thursday said. Intensified Israeli attacks and the forcible transfer of Palestinians appeared aimed at a permanent demographic shift in Gaza “raising concerns over ethnic cleansing,” the report by the UN human rights office said. The holding and mistreatment of hostages by the Hamas Islamist militant group may amount to war crimes, it said.
