Israeli Soldiers 'Haunted By What They Have Done' In Gaza, UN Expert Says

A Palestinian man carries a wounded child after an Israeli strike on a residential building in Gaza City, Friday, June 27, 2025.

Israeli troops are “haunted by what they have done” in Gaza, according to a UN specialist.

Israel declared war on the Palestinian territory in October 2023 after Gaza-based militants Hamas killed 1,200 people on Israeli soil and took a further 251 others hostage.

Israel then imposed an aid blockade and launched a ground offensive, triggering a humanitarian crisis in the territory.
