A UN report released on Tuesday accuses Israel's security forces of abuse and deliberate killings of Palestinian children, eight months after the Israel-Hamas truce in the Gaza Strip, The New York Times reports. The report concluded that the killings are a part of a wider strategy to destroy any future for Palestinians in Gaza, which amounts to genocide. The Gaza health ministry has estimated that more than 21,000 Palestinian children were killed during the Gaza war. Around 5,000 of them were under the age of five, and more than 1,000 were under the age of one. About 420 were newborns.
