On December 8, 2024, Amnesty International released a report accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians during the ongoing Gaza conflict. The UK-based human rights organization based its conclusion on statements from Israeli officials, digital evidence, and witness testimonies.
Amnesty described the findings as a critical alert for the international community. In response, Israel's foreign ministry dismissed the 295-page report as entirely false and founded on lies. The Israeli military also rejected the allegations, stating they are baseless and do not reflect the operational realities faced by its forces.
Additionally, local medics reported that at least 50 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza within the past day.
