The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights warned Friday that Israeli military operations are forcing Palestinians into shrinking areas of Gaza while destroying civilian infrastructure and targeting displacement sites, OHCHR said. The office expressed concern that the pattern amounts to ethnic cleansing.
Israeli forces continue to push Palestinians into ever-smaller zones across the Gaza Strip, according to the UN human rights office. The operations have involved destruction of civilian infrastructure and attacks on sites where displaced Palestinians have sought shelter.
