Israeli officials denounced the UN report, claiming it falsely portrays Israel's actions as equivalent to those of Hamas and denying any systematic abuse by Israeli forces.
The report's findings could serve as evidence for prosecuting war crimes, highlighting the severe human rights concerns in the ongoing conflict.
