Most of the 11 Palestinian people killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in the last week of December were killed in air strikes, demonstrating Israel’s excessive use of force in the occupied territory, the United Nations said according to Al Jazeera.
In its latest situation update, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that two women and two children were among the 11 people killed by Israeli forces between December 24 and 30. Almost 50 others were injured, including 19 children and four women, OCHA said.
Eight of the 11 who were killed died in strikes by Israeli aircraft, OCHA said, adding that basic services, such as education, water and healthcare in the Jenin refugee camp have been severely disrupted for almost a month due to an ongoing operation by Palestinian Authority (PA) forces.
In the Tulkarem and Nur Shams refugee camps, a two-day military operation by Israel damaged more than 1,000 housing units and left 21 Palestinian households, comprising 94 people, displaced, OCHA said.
