A UN report accuses Israel of committing "genocidal acts" in Gaza by systematically destroying healthcare facilities and using sexual violence. The report claims Israeli forces targeted women's reproductive health and imposed measures to prevent births, violating the Genocide Convention. Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the report as biased and antisemitic. The UN also cited forced stripping and sexual assault by Israeli security forces. Israel denied the allegations, stating its military has strict policies prohibiting misconduct. South Africa has taken Israel to the International Court of Justice over genocide claims. The war has killed over 48,000 Palestinians. (PC: Reuters)
