The UN human rights office says it is appalled by the killing of two Palestinian men by Israeli security forces in the West Bank, saying the incident appeared to amount to summary executions.

“We’re appalled by the brazen killing by Israeli border police yesterday of two Palestinian men in Jenin in the occupied West Bank in yet another apparent summary execution,” the spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Jeremy Laurence tells a UN briefing in Geneva.

The two men killed yesterday appeared to be surrendering and unarmed during a raid in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Palestine TV news footage showed.
