EU Expresses Deep Concern amid Escalation of Violence in West Bank
In a statement, a spokesperson said the EU expresses their "deepest condolences" to the families of those martyred, and wishes those injured a full and speedy recovery.
"Today’s events are a reminder of the fragility of the situation on the ground," read the statement.
The spokesperson added: "The European Union urges all parties to avoid inflammatory language, contribute to de-escalation, and put an end to the vicious cycle of violence."
Earlier Friday, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and war minister Israel Katz ordered what they described as a "wide-scale military operation" in Palestinian villages across the occupied West Bank following a shooting attack near the illegal Havat Gilad settlement that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others.
