UN chief calls on Israel to immediately end its military raids in the occupied West Bank
Mr Guterres's call follows the deadliest Israeli operation in the Palestinian territory since October 7

UN SECRETARY-GENERAL Antonio Guterres called on Israel to immediately end operations in the occupied West Bank today, after the Israeli military killed at least 16 people there this week.  

Israel began a series of raids across the occupied Palestinian territory on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, claiming to have killed five Islamic Jihad militants including a commander, Mohammed Jaber.

Islamic Jihad has confirmed that Mr Jaber, also known as Abu Shujaa, was killed during a raid in the city of Tulkarem.
