A United Nations commission has accused Israeli security forces of killing Palestinian children, calling the actions part of an ongoing "genocide" in Gaza. In a report released Tuesday, the UN-mandated inquiry stated that by targeting children, Israel is "attacking the very capacity of the Palestinian people to exist." The report named specific Israeli military units it says are responsible for the deaths. Israel rejected the findings, calling the report "defamatory."
