The United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) in Ramallah has expressed deep concern over a recent surge in violence in the occupied West Bank following the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release agreement. The OHCHR reported that Israeli security forces fatally shot a 14-year-old Palestinian boy, sparking outrage and condemnation.
According to the OHCHR statement, scores of Israeli settlers rampaged through Palestinian towns, setting fire to homes and vehicles, obstructing roads, and pelting stones. This violent incursion resulted in the injury of six Palestinians in Sinjil, including three children aged between 14 and 16.
