In a report released on Thursday, the United Nations highlighted the escalating decline in the human rights situation within the occupied West Bank and called upon Israel to halt what was described as “unlawful killings” targeting the Palestinian population.
“The use of military tactics and weapons in law enforcement contexts, the use of unnecessary or disproportionate force, and the enforcement of broad, arbitrary and discriminatory movement restrictions that affect Palestinians are extremely troubling,” UN rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement.
