The United Nations raised concerns Monday that Israel's military operation in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron could constitute ethnic cleansing, according to Al-Monitor. The operation was launched after a deadly attack by Palestinian gunmen in the area.
The warning reflects mounting international concern over the scope and conduct of Israeli military actions in Palestinian-controlled territories following the attack.
