The head of the UN strongly has condemned Israeli violence and its excessive use of force in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. "Israel's air strikes and ground operations in a crowded refugee camp were the worst violence in the West Bank in many years, with a significant impact on civilians, including more than 100 injured and thousands forced to flee," Antonio Guterres told reporters at UN headquarters in New York on Thursday."It applies to all use of excessive force.
Guterres demanded that Israel abide by its obligations under international law, including a duty to exercise restraint and use proportional force, and the duty to minimise damage and injury and respect and preserve life.
