The UN human rights chief on Friday slammed the Israeli deadly reaction to protests along the Gaza border as “wholly disproportionate”, backing calls for an international investigation.

Addressing a special session of the UN Human Rights Council on the Zionist escalation in Gaza which has claimed more than 100 Palestinian lives in six weeks, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein warned that “killing resulting from the unlawful use of force by an occupying power may also constitute willful killings, a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention”.
