UN report says Israel committed genocide in Gaza by targeting Palestinian children

A new UN report says Israel targeted Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank on purpose.
The report was made by a UN group that looked at what happened in Gaza and the West Bank last year. They think Israel committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The UN group also found that Israel's military actions have caused a lot of death and injury to Palestinian children. Israel says this is not true and the report is unfair.
A war started after Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, killing 1,200 people. Since then, many more people have died in Gaza, including over 265 children.
The UN says Israel is committing genocide by targeting children in Gaza.
Many Palestinians do not think the fighting will stop and they will be able to go back to their normal lives. Some families have lost children in the fighting.
