🇺🇳🕵️‍♂️🇮🇱❌🇵🇸⚠️ BREAKING: A UN Commission's OHCHR investigation uncovers a systematic pattern of sexual, reproductive, and gender-based violence against Palestinians perpetrated by Israeli authorities since October 2023.

The report documents multiple abuses that are deliberately employed as tactics of war and control over Palestinian populations.

Key findings include:

➡️ Sexual and gender-based violence as a war strategy:
— Israeli security forces are alleged to use forced public stripping, sexual harassment, threats of rape, and sexual assault as routine procedures against Palestinians.
— Testimonies indicate that rape and genital violence have been committed under direct orders or implicit encouragement from higher authorities.
— Israeli settlers in the West Bank are reported to have used sexual violence to terrorize and displace Palestinian communities, acting with apparent impunity.
— The report underscores that sexual violence is used as a deliberate tool of war, not as random acts of aggression, with numerous survivor testimonies detailing both physical and psychological trauma.

➡️ Destruction of reproductive healthcare and genocidal intents during the war:
— Israeli forces have systematically targeted and destroyed sexual and reproductive healthcare facilities in Gaza, including maternity wards and key fertility clinics.
— The blockade and denial of critical medical supplies have led to high maternal and infant mortality, an outcome that may qualify as extermination under international law.
— These measures align with genocidal criteria under the Rome Statute and Genocide Convention, as they deliberately create conditions for the physical destruction of a population and impose measures to prevent births.

➡️ Mass civilian targeting and directed violence against women and girls:
— The report documents extensive use of heavy explosives and bombings in residential areas, leading to a significant rise in civilian casualties, especially among women and girls.
— Women, girls, and maternity patients have reportedly been deliberately targeted, which the report classifies as both crimes against humanity and war crimes.
— These actions have been classified as crimes against humanity and war crimes, reflecting the deliberate and systematic nature of the violence.

📝The OHCHR investigation further corroborates these findings through detailed testimonies and case studies, emphasizing that these are not isolated incidents but part of a broader strategy to undermine the autonomy and dignity of Palestinian communities.

The OHCHR report criticizes the international community for its insufficient response to these systemic abuses. The report calls for urgent international accountability, comprehensive legal measures to protect victims, and significant reforms to halt these human rights violations.

— 🇮🇱/🇸🇾 NEW: The land area Israel now occupies in Syria is larger than the land it occupied in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon combined

NOTE: This area is not fully under control of the IDF, but this area Israel has announced it will not allow any Syrian forces to deploy inside.
