The report states that Israel routinely targets civilians and engages in abuses such as torture and enforced disappearances.
• Israel released 10 Palestinians from detention into Gaza, including Assaad al-Nassasra, an ambulance driver whose whereabouts were unknown for weeks after Israeli forces opened fire on a group of Palestinian emergency workers in Gaza in late March, killing 15 medics.

Saudi Arabia on Tuesday launched an unprecedented attack on Israel by calling the latter’s action in Gaza an act of ethnic cleansing.

He also drew the world court’s attention towards Israel’s disregard for international institutions and attempts to destroy UN bodies such as UNRWA.
