US EditionIsrael Commits 'Extermination' in Gaza by Killing in Schools, UN Experts Say
- On June 11, 2025, UN experts led by Navi Pillay released a report accusing Israel of committing the crime of extermination through attacks that targeted civilians taking refuge in schools and religious centers in Gaza.
- This finding follows a March report that found Israel carried out genocidal acts, including systematically destroying women’s healthcare facilities amid ongoing hostilities triggered by Hamas’s October 2023 surprise attack.
- The commission noted Israel destroyed over 90% of Gaza’s educational buildings and half of its religious and cultural sites while targeting female educators to suppress activism.
- Navi Pillay stated that there is increasing evidence suggesting Israel is systematically working to destroy Palestinian life in Gaza, which undermines Palestinians’ ability to achieve self-determination.
- These reports imply severe, ongoing violations of international law with broad implications for Palestinian society and call for accountability for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
