Report says commission found Israeli forces targeted Palestinian children and substantiates finding of genocide

A presenter summarized a commission report on alleged abuses in the occupied Palestinian territory, saying the document "further substantiates our finding on genocide." The presenter asserted that "the Israeli authorities and the Israeli security forces have deliberately targeted and killed Palestinian children and destroyed their childhood."

The presenter gave casualty figures the report attributes to the period between Oct. 7, 2023, and Oct. 7, 2025, saying the commission documented "more than 20,000 children" killed and "more than 44,000 children" injured. The presenter added that children constitute about 30% of all those killed in the territory the transcript refers to as OPT, and said the killing and injuring of children has been a continuing activity.

The report also documents destruction to education infrastructure, the presenter said: "97% of all schools have been destroyed. 95% of the universities have been affected." Those figures were presented as the commission's findings; the transcript does not identify the commission by name or provide sourcing beyond the report itself.

On the report's interpretation of motive, the presenter said the commission concluded that Israel "targets children to weaken demographic vitality and deny the Palestinian people's right to self-determination." That conclusion is presented in the report as an interpretation of intent.

The presenter also said the report concludes that Hamas has "repeatedly committed grave abuses against Palestinians in Gaza using the cover of Israeli military offensives and the broader collapse of law and order to carry out campaigns of repression, torture, and unlawful killings of Palestinians." The transcript contains no response to those assertions and does not identify the commission or its institutional affiliation.

The transcript records the presenter's summary of the report and its headline findings but provides no additional documentation of the commission's name, methodology, or sources beyond the statements quoted above. The presenter identified the report as released "today"; the text does not record any follow-up questions, official responses, or formal actions tied to the report within the recorded segments.
