Since October 7, Israeli forces have murdered at least 21,320 civilians in Gaza, including 8,200 children.

"The murderous campaign has also injured 55,603 victims, including 8,663 children. Meanwhile, more than 7,000 people remain missing. In the West Bank, Israeli forces have killed at least 316 people, including 76 children, which comes in addition to the 3,800 who have been wounded," said the report.

"The Israeli aggression on Palestinians is continuing despite the ongoing calls for an immediate ceasefire to end the devastating situation.

The report notably urged the end of arbitrary detention and ill-treatment of Palestinians, while confirming the unlawful killing of civilians throughout the over 80 days of war launched by Israel since October 7.

The report highlighted the increased rate of airstrikes as well as the use of bulldozers and heavy weapons against Palestinians in the West Bank, highlighting the arbitrary arrests of Palestinian civilians, including children and journalists.
