U.N. Secretary-General Condemns Deadly Israeli Assault on Palestinians in Jenin

HeadlineJul 07, 2023

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers shot and killed at least two Palestinian men during an early-morning raid today on the city of Nablus. At least three Palestinians were wounded in the assault. Separately, Israeli forces chased down and killed a Palestinian man after he allegedly shot and killed a soldier protecting an illegal settlement near Nablus.

At the United Nations, Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the massive two-day assault on Jenin by Israel earlier this week that killed at least 12 Palestinians and left more than 100 people injured. Guterres called Israel’s airstrikes during the raid “inconsistent with the conduct of law enforcement operations” and said that as the occupying power, Israel has a responsibility to ensure that the civilian population is protected.
