"Volker Turk, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, accused Israel on Monday of committing war crime upon war crime and said the scale of devastation in Gaza was shocking the conscience of the world. He added that Israel has a case to answer before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), pointing to the court's ruling in January that obliged Tel Aviv to prevent acts of genocide."
"The Palestinian Civil Defence said that Israeli strikes have levelled more than 50 buildings across Gaza since Sunday morning, while another 100 have been partially damaged. Spokesman Mahmoud Basal accused Israel of deliberately hitting residential blocks next to encampments of displaced families, destroying more than 200 tents in the last 24 hours. He said that rescue teams are continuing to pull people from the rubble in Gaza City's Tuffah neighbourhood after Israeli bombs flattened buildings in the az-Zarqa district."
"Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said it was heartbreaking to watch these high-rise towers in Gaza City falling one after another due to the systematic tactics of the Israeli military. It's not just a building that's been destroyed it's the services that come with it, services that are crucial for people trying to live their lives after nearly two years of war. Local hospitals told Al Jazeera"
Israeli forces intensified strikes on Gaza City, flattening high-rise towers and destroying critical services while issuing evacuation warnings ahead of a planned ground invasion. The United Nations high commissioner for human rights accused Israel of committing repeated war crimes and described the scale of devastation as shocking the conscience of the world. The International Court of Justice ruling in January obliges Israel to prevent acts of genocide, and the UN rights office said Israel has a case to answer. Palestinian Civil Defence reported over 50 buildings levelled, about 100 partially damaged, and more than 200 tents destroyed, with ongoing rescue operations in Tuffah and az-Zarqa.
