Noting recent attacks against the Palestinian villages of Al Lubban ash-Sharqiya and Turmusaya in the occupied West Bank, the letter, dated July 5, said:"These attacks involved the destruction of property, including arson and stone-throwing, resulting in damage to cars, homes and businesses." Noting that the Israeli army targeted apartment buildings, medics, ambulances, journalists and media centres in the city of Jenin, the letter said that more than 163 Palestinians, including 27 children, have been killed by Israeli forces and illegal settlers this year.
"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," Guterres said at the UN headquarters in New York.
