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

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.
