Last Middle East: UN supported experts accuse Israel of …

The experts supported by the United Nations Thursday accused Israel of “systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other nature based on gender” in his war against Hamas in the Gaza strip.

The mission of Israel at the UN in Geneva rejected the accusations and accused the commission of inquiry in the occupied Palestinian territory, which was created by the Human Rights Council, supported by the UN, to rely on “used sources, alone, uncorroborates”.

Israel refused to cooperate with the Commission, accusing the Council of being a biased against it.

The commission’s report examined the large -scale destruction of Gaza, the use of heavy explosives in civilian areas and Israeli attacks on hospitals and health facilities. He said that all three led to “disproportionate violence against women and children.”

Israel says it took extraordinary measures to avoid the injury of civilians in the 15 -month war, which was interrupted by a fragile termination. It relieves civil death and destruction on Hamas, because the militants operate in residential areas.

Here are the latest:

1 Reported killed after Israeli’s Air hit the residential building in Syria

The state news agency in Syria says that an Israeli air attack hit a residential building on the outskirts of Syrian capital.

The agency did not provide additional details about Thursday’s air attack.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in the UK, a war monitor, said that the targeted building is located in the Dummar suburb, northwest of the capital and was inhabited by Palestinians. He said a person was killed.

The Minister of Defense of Israel, Israel Katz, confirmed that he had made an air attack on a residential building in Damascus, but did not provide additional details.

Katz warned in a statement that “whenever the terrorist activity against Israel is organized,” the new president of Syria, Ahmad al-Sharaa, “will find aircraft aircraft surrounding him and attacks terrorist targets.”

The Arab press reported that the air army targeted the members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.

An official with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Group could not confirm whether the group members had been targeted.

Israel sends food aid to the Druze minority group in Syria

Israel says he sent 10,000 food help to Druze in Syria, because he tries to force the links with the minority to model the disturbed transition of the country in the Civil War.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that the operation has been carried out in recent weeks with the local Druze leaders, with most of the aid granted to the Southern Sweida region.

Israel says he supports a worse minority in a country now led by Islamists. But many drones and rejected the appearanceAnd the critics accuse Israel trying to lose weight and divide Syria after the overthrow of President Bashar Assad.

Israel confiscated a buffer area in the south of Syria shortly after Assad’s overthrow and made waves of air attacks to destroy Syria’s army. He ordered the new security forces not to operate south of the capital, Damascus.

Israel says he acts in Syria to protect their citizens from the groups supported by Iran, who were allied with Assad, as well as with the new government, led by a former senior leader al-Qaeda who cut the links with the group a few years ago.

The report says Israel used sexual and reproductive violence in Gaza

The experts supported by the United Nations Thursday accused Israel of “systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other nature based on gender” in his war against Hamas in the Gaza strip.

The mission of Israel at the UN in Geneva rejected the accusations and accused the commission of inquiry in the occupied Palestinian territory, which was created by the Human Rights Council, supported by the UN, to rely on “used sources, alone, uncorroborates”.

Israel refused to cooperate with the Commission, accusing the Council of being a biased against it.

In his report published on Thursday, the Commission examined the large -scale destruction of Gaza, the use of heavy explosives in civil areas and Israeli attacks on hospitals and health units. He said that all three led to “disproportionate violence against women and children.”

Israel says it took extraordinary measures to avoid the injury of civilians in the 15 -month war, which was interrupted by a fragile termination. It relieves civil death and destruction on Hamas, because the militants operate in residential areas.

The Commission also accused the Israeli security forces of rape and sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners. Israel denies any systematic abuse of prisoners and says that there are measures when there are violations.

The Commission is headed by the former head of the UN human rights, Navi Pillay. His discoveries can be used as evidence for International Criminal Court or other bodies trying to pursue war offenses.

Israel refused to cooperate with the Commission, accusing the Council of being a biased against it.

The war began when the militants led by Hamas attacked the south of Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, largely civilians and taking 251 hostages. A UN submission last year said that exists “Reasonable reasons” to believe that Hamas committed rape and sexual violence in attack.

The offensive of reprisals in Israel killed over 48,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Ministry of Health of Gaza, which does not say how many of the dead were combatants.
