8:20 I think there is also circumstantial evidence that Israel is deliberately prolonging the conflict. This comes from the statistics showing that the majority of the dead and injured are women and children. Those statistics, provided by Hamas, cannot be verified by the UN however, because they have no access to Gaza. If they are correct though, then this shows that civilians were deliberately being targetted, and the combatants left to continue fighting, giving Israel an excuse to continue the bombardment.

You can read the unedited version (25 pages) here: Anatomy of a Genocide - Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Francesca Albanese. See in particular this paragraph on page 7:

25. Seventy percent of recorded deaths have consistently been women and children. Israel failed to prove that the remaining 30 percent, i.e. adult males, were active Hamas combatants – a necessary condition for them to be lawfully targeted. By early-December, Israel’s security advisors claimed the killing of “7,000 terrorists” in a stage of the campaign when less than 5,000 adult males in total had been identified among the casualties, thus implying that all adult males killed were “terrorists”. [*] This is indicative of an intent to indiscriminately target members of the protected group, assimilating them to active fighter status by default.
