UN chief urges ‘maximum restraint’ in IDF’s Jenin operation

United Nations chief Antonio Guterres called on Israel’s security forces to exercise “maximum restraint” after they launched a major operation in the West Bank city of Jenin, a spokesman says.

Guterres “remains deeply concerned” about the violence which has reportedly resulted in Palestinian casualties, and “the secretary general urges security forces to exercise maximum restraint and use lethal force only when it is strictly unavoidable to protect life,” says Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for the UN chief.
