UN urges de-escalation as Israeli West Bank raids continue

Five more Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in a second day of raids in the occupied West Bank, with the UN calling for de-escalation.
 
The Israel Defense Forces said they were five terrorists who had hidden inside a mosque in Tulkarm, near the boundary with Israel.
 
Israel began what it said was a major counter-terrorism operation in the West Bank on Wednesday.
 
There have been conflicting death tolls as the operation unfolded across multiple cities.
 
The IDF said Wednesday that nine militants had been killed.
 
The Palestinian health ministry said on Thursday that 12 people had been killed in IDF attacks so far.
