United Nations-backed human rights experts have accused Israel of “the systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other gender-based violence” in its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The commission, in its report, documented a range of violations perpetrated against Palestinian women, men, girls, and boys. It has accused the Israeli security forces of rape and sexual violence against Palestinian detainees.

Israel is accused of using gender-based violence by the United Nations - allegations it refutes as unfounded, biased, and lacking credibility.
