UN experts have accused Israel of committing sexual violence in Gaza, targeting hospitals and civilians, disproportionately affecting women and children. Israel rejects the UN's findings, labeling them biased.

United Nations-backed human rights experts on Thursday accused Israel of “the systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other gender-based violence” in its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, quickly condemned the report’s findings as baseless.

A new report by the U.N. accuses Israel of the increasing use of sexual violence against Palestinians and genocidal acts through the deliberate destruction of their sexual and reproductive healthcare facilities.
