A United Nations report released Tuesday says that Hamas militants and police units in Gaza carry out beatings, maiming, and public executions of dozens of Palestinians during the war with Israel. The report describes these actions as extrajudicial punishments and says they amount to war crimes. According to the reporting, the UN document includes hundreds of cases involving punishment outside normal legal processes, with many incidents reportedly presented publicly to instill fear among the population. The accounts described in the report involve both militants and Gaza-based police units, portraying a pattern of violence directed at Palestinians rather than at combatants through recognized judicial procedures. The outlets summarize the UN’s findings without providing specific names, dates, or locations in their excerpts. The report’s release is part of broader UN monitoring and documentation efforts regarding alleged violations of international humanitarian and human rights law during the conflict. The sources agree on the core claims: the UN attributes serious abuses—public beatings, severe injuries, and executions—to Hamas-linked actors in Gaza.
