UN Secretary General António Guterres has called for an immediate end to Israel’s operation in the occupied West Bank.
In a post on X, Guterres says the latest developments in the West Bank “are deeply concerning.”
“I strongly condemn the loss of lives, including of children, and I call for an immediate cessation of these operations,” he says.
Israel began what it called a “counter-terrorism operation” in four areas of the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, with at least nine people killed.
This morning, the Israeli security forces say they killed “five armed terrorists” who were “hiding in a mosque” – in an operation carried out near the West Bank city of Tulkarm.
