Where things stand
• Israel says it has launched a ground incursion into Gaza City, escalating its war in defiance of international condemnation and backlash from the families of hostages held by Hamas.
• An independent United Nations inquiry has concluded that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, in what it described as the “most authoritative UN finding to date.”
• Over 10% of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed or injured since the war began, the Israeli military’s former chief said — a figure very close to that reported by the Palestinian Health Ministry.
