"Israeli strikes against Palestinian terrorists constitute executions without trial, U.N. chief Spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Tuesday in comments on behalf of the organization's Secretary General Kofi Annan.

While recognizing Israel's right to defend its citizens, targeted killings place innocent bystanders at grave risk and amount to executions without trial," Dujarric said in the wake of a series of Israeli strikes that killed nine Palestinian terrorists in recent days.

Annan called on both Israelis and Palestinians to do everything possible to protect civilians and refrain from any actions that could escalate the violence, Dujarric said."
