Deadliest Truce Breach: UN Accuses Israel of New War Crimes as 11 Palestinians Killed in Gaza
———————————-
The fragile ceasefire in Gaza was violently breached, resulting in a deadly incident that coincided with fresh accusations of war crimes leveled against Israel by the UN.

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry accused Israel of committing new war crimes during its ongoing operations in the Gaza Strip, despite the US-led ceasefire being in effect, as reported by Khaama Press.

Simultaneously, Al Jazeera reported a deadly violation of the truce when an Israeli air strike killed 11 members of a Palestinian family in central Gaza on Friday, marking the single deadliest breach since the ceasefire began. The strike, which hit a residential home, resulted in the death of entire family lines, according to reports from the area.

The UN Commission’s report specifically cited Israel’s continued use of heavy weaponry in densely populated civilian areas and the targeting of critical infrastructure, saying these actions constitute violations of international humanitarian law. The Commission warned that the ongoing military operations risk further civilian casualties and undermine humanitarian efforts, intensifying the focus on accountability for all parties involved in the conflict.
