Israel committing crimes against humanity in occupied West Bank: UN

UN-mandated investigators accuse the Israeli government and its forces of crimes against humanity in the occupied West Bank, including extermination, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence. In its report released on October 26, 2026, the Commission of Inquiry said Israeli military operations, reinforced by sustained settler violence, amount to a widespread and systematic attack against civilians. The report was issued as Israeli forces carried out expulsions and demolitions in Hebron following a gun attack the previous week.
