Israel carried out "genocidal acts" against Palestinians and used sexual violence as a war strategy, United Nations experts said in a new report.

A United Nations commission of experts has accused Israel of committing serious human rights violations, including the use of sexual violence as a means of oppressing and controlling the Palestinian population.

Palestinians who say they suffered brutal beatings and sexual abuse in Israeli detention and at the hands of Israeli settlers testified about their ordeals at the United Nations this week.
