UN investigative report details violence in Gaza

Lebanese PM accuses Israel of rejecting cease-fire efforts as conflict escalates

A newly published United Nations investigative report has found that Israel has "perpetrated a concerted policy to destroy Gaza's healthcare system" amid continuing strikes in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, which Lebanon's prime minister say suggest a 'rejection' of cease-fire.

The report also found that Palestinians detained in Israel, including minors, had been subjected to widespread abuse, physical and psychological violence, and sexual and gender-based violence, amounting to "war crimes".

Navanethem Pillay, chairwoman of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, presented the commission's latest investigative report to the UN General Assembly and news briefing on Thursday.
