Israeli is carrying out an invasion in the West Bank, not a military operation, a Palestinian diplomat has told the BBC.
Husam Zomlot, head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, says Israel's military has been using the "pretext" of militant operations to attack Palestinians "for decades".
He tells BBC Radio 4's World at One programme that the "killing and the shelling know no limits and [Israel's armed forces] don't distinguish".
"The only threat to Israel is its expansion, its colonialism, its occupation, its control and subjugation of an entire nation," he adds.
"Israel wants to crush our soul, our people, our population, wants to continue militarily occupying us, wants to continue its illegal settlement expansion in the occupied territory."
Zomlot also rejects Israel's claims it attacks only military targets which threaten it, stating that "people have the right to resist" a military occupation under international law.
The diplomat also singles out the international community for "allowing this culture of impunity for Israel" which he says sends messages that Israeli settlers "will be protected no matter what".
