More than 100 Palestinians were killed in renewed Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, medical sources told Anadolu.

The sources said that at least 86 bodies were transferred to hospitals in Gaza City alone amid intensified Israeli bombardment.

According to the sources, nine more people were killed in Israeli strikes in central Gaza, and six others in the south.

The deadly attacks came as the Israeli army opened a new phase of its ground offensive in Gaza City as part of a broader strategy to occupy the entire city. Nearly one million Palestinians, most of them displaced from other parts of the enclave, remain trapped in the city under relentless attacks.

The Israeli army has killed almost 65,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023.

On Tuesday, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory confirmed that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.

The commission’s report concluded that Israel committed four out of the five acts of genocide defined in the “Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.”

It explained that these acts are: killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of Palestinians in whole or in part, and imposing measures intended to prevent births.
