UN report: Israel, Hamas committed war crimes

GENEVA, Switzerland — A United Nations investigation concluded on Wednesday that Israel has committed crimes against humanity during the war in Gaza, including that of 'extermination,' while saying that Israeli and Palestinian armed groups have both committed war crimes.

The independent Commission of Inquiry's report is the global organization's first in-depth investigation into the events of the war that began on Oct. 7, 2023.
