UN says Israeli construction work violates ceasefire agreement on Syria border

UN peacekeepers have warned that the Israeli military committed “severe violations” of a ceasefire deal with Syria, as its military carried out a major construction project along the border that separates the Israel-occupied Golan Heights from Syria, The AP has reported.

AP quoted the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) as saying that Israeli work along the Alpha Line risked further inflaming tensions in the region.

“Such severe violations of the [demilitarized zone] have the potential to increase tensions in the area and is being closely monitored by UNDOF,” the UN agency said. The comments come after AP published satellite imagery showing the extent of the works along the frontier.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment. UNDOF said it repeatedly protested the work, which it described as violating the 1974 Disengagement Agreement over the months of construction.

Grave situation in north Gaza amid Israeli strikes: UN

The UN Human Rights office in the occupied Palestinian territory says the Israeli military’s repeated strikes have led to massive civilian deaths in north Gaza in the last five weeks while its siege has cut off the population from humanitarian aid, medical care and emergency rescue service.

Most of the incidents, the OHCHR said in a statement, were strikes on residential buildings where entire families were sheltering, resulting in a high number of fatalities

“The strikes have disproportionally affected women, older people and people with disability, many of whom are reportedly trapped due to restricted movement and attacks on escape routes,” it said.

It also said that the Israeli military has attacked the workers of the Palestinian civil defence department, forcing the department to suspend its operations on October 24, “depriving residents of North Gaza all support in recovering their loved ones who are left to die trapped under rubble”.
