West Bank becoming ‘battlefield’, over 50 killed in five weeks: UNRWA chief Geneva, Switzerland The West Bank is facing an “alarming spillover” of the Gaza war, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said Wednesday, with dozens killed since Israel expanded its operations there last month.

“The West Bank is becoming a battlefield,” Philippe Lazzar i n i warned on X, saying that “more than 50 people, including children, have been reported killed since the Israeli forces’ operation started”.

“This must end.” The expansion of Israeli operations in the West Bank come as tensions surge over a fragile truce deal in Gaza, which has largely halted more than 15 months of devastating war.
