Israeli Naval Forces Open Fire Near Khan Yunis Following UN Genocide Report
On June 25, 2026, Israeli warships targeted waters off the coast of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, marking a significant escalation during an ongoing ceasefire. The strikes coincided with a UN commission report finding that the Israeli military has 'deliberately targeted children' in Gaza and the West Bank. The commission, chaired by Judge Srinivasan Muralidhar, alleged these actions suggest genocidal intent. Israel's Foreign Ministry strongly rejected the findings as a 'libelous sham' while maintaining military pressure in the region.
