UN condemns Israel's use of "war-like" tactics in the West Bank

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) condemned Israel on Friday for using what it described as "war-like" tactics against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, reporting that nine Palestinians had been killed there in a week.

OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke told reporters during a press briefing in Geneva, "Israeli forces are using lethal, war-like methods in the West Bank, raising serious concerns about the excessive use of force and exacerbating the humanitarian needs of the people."

He added that nine people, including a child, were killed between October 8 and 14.

Laerke noted that Israeli forces had accused most of the deceased of involvement in attacks on Israelis.
