UN says eight killed by Israel's 'unlawful lethal force' in West Bank

The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said Israeli security forces killed eight Palestinian men in the occupied West Bank In less than 24 hours on 5 November.

"On 3 November, Israeli Forces shot in the abdomen and killed an unarmed 14-year-old Palestinian boy in Halhul, Hebron, Occupied West Bank," the agency said in a post on X.

"Israeli Forces' regular recourse to unlawful lethal force in the occupied West Bank is a horrifying escalation of an already explosive situation. Israel must end the occupation, as concluded by the International Court of Justice," it added.
