> A UN-mandated inquiry says Israeli authorities and forces committed crimes against humanity and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, including extermination, torture, rape and other sexual violence. Israel’s mission in Geneva dismissed the report as a misinformation campaign. UN rights chief Volker Turk warned that the lockdown and demolitions in Hebron raised serious concerns of ethnic cleansing.
