The reports by B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights come as Israel faces increased pressure to end its campaign of destruction against Palestinians.

Two Israeli rights groups said Israel was carrying out "coordinated, deliberate action to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza strip."

Two prominent Israeli rights groups on Monday said their country is committing genocide in Gaza, the first time that local Jewish-led organizations have made such accusations against Israel during nearly 22 months of war.

Last week, more than 100 aid and human rights groups warned that Gaza is at risk of "mass starvation."They signed an appeal demanding Israel allow food shipments into the territory. On Saturday, Israel's military announced airdrops of aid began in Gaza and that humanitarian corridors will be established.
