Israel says Gaza City ground offensive has begun as UN commission concludes Israel is committing genocide
![]() 1451 Tuesday, 16 September, 2025, 22:18 Israel says it has launched a ground incursion into Gaza City, escalating its war in defiance of international condemnation and backlash from the families of hostages held by Hamas. The Israeli military estimates its offensive to take “several months” to complete. An independent United Nations inquiry has concluded that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, in what it described as the “most authoritative UN finding to date.” Over 10% of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed or injured since the war began, the Israeli military’s former chief said — a figure very close to that reported by the Palestinian health ministry. |
