The United Nations' rights office issued a statement on Friday, expressing deep concern over the situation in the occupied West Bank, characterizing it as "alarming." The UN report highlighted an escalating use of military tactics and weaponry by Israeli forces in law enforcement operations within the region.
According to the UN, the toll in the West Bank stands at a devastating 132 Palestinians killed, including 41 children. Out of these, 124 fatalities were attributed to actions by Israeli forces, while eight were reportedly caused by Israeli settlers. Tragically, two Israeli soldiers also lost their lives.
In Gaza City, where residents find themselves trapped amidst the conflict, there is a prevailing hope for an imminent truce. One resident voiced a plea for international intervention, asking, "Does the world wait for hundreds of thousands who refuse to leave their homes, who have no guilt but that they don't want to leave their country, to be massacred by Israel?"
The international community continues to closely monitor the evolving situation, urging diplomatic efforts to bring about a resolution and prevent further loss of life.
