GENEVA (Reuters) -The United Nations humanitarian office accused Israel on Friday of using "war-like" tactics against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, citing killings by soldiers and attacks on Palestinian olive groves by Israeli settlers.

Family of Hanan Abu Salami say they had negotiated permission to attend their olive grove when they were shot at from the nearby separation wall

A weakened Palestinian Authority is unable to curb increasing violence in the West Bank. Without pressure on Israel, it will only get worse.

The United Nations humanitarian office on Friday denounced Israel's use of what it described as "war-like" tactics against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, saying nine Palestinians had been killed there in a week.
