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.
