The Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, Palestine, which began in October 2023, continue to this day.
According to data compiled by a specialized United Nations (UN) agency, the cumulative number of Palestinian civilians killed in Israeli attacks up to September 17, 2025, reached 65,000.
The victims comprised 27,600 men, 9,700 women, 18,400 children, and 4,400 elderly people.
On September 16, 2025, the UN Human Rights Council declared that Israel had committed genocide.
This is recorded in report A/HRC/60/CRP.3, titled "Legal analysis of the conduct of Israel in Gaza pursuant to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide".
"The Commission concludes on reasonable grounds that the Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have committed and are continuing to commit the following actus reus of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip," the report said.
"Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, have incited the commission of genocide and that Israeli authorities have failed to take action against them to punish this incitement," it continued.
According to the UN's findings, the acts of genocide committed by Israel against Palestinians include:
- Killing members of the group;
- Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
- Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and
- Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group.
