The United Nations has issued a strong condemnation of Israel's use of what it labels as "war-like" tactics in the occupied West Bank.

In a press briefing in Geneva, spokesperson Jens Laerke highlighted concerns about the excessive use of force by Israeli forces, which has led to nine Palestinian deaths within the span of a week, from October 8 to 14.

This includes the killing of one child, with Israeli forces alleging that most of the deceased were involved in attacks against Israelis.
